load application setting on startup

[mig-31]

Hi,

I want to load some parameters from ini file on application startup = click on exe file and load setting on FormCreate event in classic RAD software.

How can I do this in Labview?

Thank you.

You should look in to LabVIEW's configuration VIs. These load/save/update ini files.

Beat me to it.

My question is not about how to read from ini file, but equal event for Labview to OnCreateForm event in normal Rapid Application Development software (Lazarus, Delphi, Qt Creator, Visual Studio)

I guess there's no "automatic" way like that.  You have to just read in the file first thing.

[James.M · Accepted solution]

When the executable is first run, you just read in the ini file. No event needed.

Edit: To clarify, LabVIEW code runs like a flowchart, so at the beginning of your application's "flowchart" you put your ReadFromConfig code.
