how to:pass a reference of vi to plug-in vi

[Eark_Elf]

I have opened a plug-in vi in the development environment of LabVIEW, how to pass the reference of the vi currently being edited to the plug-in vi?

(Please note that I opened the plugin vi in LabVIEW.exe, so there is no calling relationship between the opened plugin vi and the vi that is currently being edited. I tried to use Discover Who Invoked The Icon Editor.vi (which is the vi that comes with LabVIEW's own icon editor) to get a reference to the vi that is being edited. I tried to use Discover Who Invoked The Icon Editor.vi (which is the vi that comes with LabVIEW's own icon editor) to get a reference to the vi being edited, but it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me how to pass a reference to the vi currently being edited to a plug-in vi that is opened by LabVIEW.exe in the LabVIEW development environment?）

If your "plug-in" is a menu item that you've created by placing it in ...\Labview xxxx\project\

then you can use this:
