property node operating system name strings

[chucky]

where can i find what strings are returned from the property node for the deferent operating systems?

what we are trying to do is have a single vi, that depending on the OS (Windows or LabVIEW RT), call a function in dll a.dll or b.dll so that the same vi can be used on the 2 different OS'es.

if there is a better way, i'd be interested. thanks.

I'd check out the conditional disable structure.

i'm still new to labview. could you point me to a sample. thanks.

I'd start with the LV help which will point you to an example.  Or you can place one on a block diagram, right click where it says 'Default' and select 'Edit Condition for this Diagram'.  Clicking help in the dialog box will give you more information.

That will not give you the same strings. Open up Context Help (Ctrl + H), hover over the property node for Operating System >> Name and then click on Detailed Help. That should take you to the following page:

Operating System:Name Property

i think that this is exactly what i am looking for, but the problem is that our vi's are to support back to LV 7. i think this was new to 8.0, so if i use this, it will not be backward compatible. we want to have one set of vi's for all versions of LV from 7 on.
