Plugin Question

[D60]

Hi Experts!

I've a question about Application (exe) and vi.lib , user.lib and instr.lib

I made some tests but I need more confirmation about my thesis 🙂

I wanna make an exe of my project. The top level VI uses vi server to call the plugins.

When I setup the exe - all setup is OK.

 - (Plugins in Included, Typedefs are unchecked and so an... )

Experiment: 

- I have a class in my user.lib. This class is not reffered in Top level Vi but it's used in Plugin vi. When my exe is created, this plugin can not be called because this class items are missing. But when I copy this llb (that contains the

class in user.lib) to the exe directory it is OK but I think it is not elegant (load and search dialog appears).

- When I make a subvi that is not reffered in Top Level vi, but called in Plugin, saved on the Desktop (or anywhere, but not in the user./instr/vi.lib) - (so the new subvi apperas in dependency only). I created the Application (EXE) and everything is works fine.

So my question is simple. 

What is the connection between the Dinamic VIs and its subvis that is saved in User.lib, Instr.lib or VI.lib in Application (EXE) ???

It seems to me, those subvis that are not called in Top level vi but used in the plugin and saved in user.lib won't be compiled.

Hi Durnek

I believe, that in document "My Plug-In Application (EXE) is Not Calling My Plug-Ins Correctly" You can find description and explanation of Your issue: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4CB098B512EFB2B786256FFF00813037?OpenDocument

I include an extra targer folder and all of the plug-ins go in there (preserve hierachy) and the plugins lode fine.

That gives you the option in the future to deploy just your updaetd plug-in classes without having to re-do the entire thing.
