property node

[ivymerci]

Hi,

I have a question about the property node. The class is light blue and what does it mean? My Labview is 2010 and I can't find open VI object scripting. Do I need add-ons?

Thank you!

Light blue on properties and methods means that it is a LabVIEW scripting property that is not normally exposed.  In LabVIEW 2010 and later, you can turn these nodes on by an option in the Tools>>Options>>VI Server dialog.  You do not need another add-in.

Note that VIs which contain scripting properties will continue to show them, even if the LabVIEW they are being viewed in does not have the feature turned on.

Thank you DFGray.

I am new to Labview. I have turned it on(figure 1). Now I can find the light blue property. But I still can't find the Open VI Object(figure 2). Could you please help me with that?

I get it. Thank you!

Open VI object is inside the LV Scripting Subpalette at the bottom of your figure 2.

There are also tan and red property nodes (see attachment).

I don't know what tan means, but red means the use of that property is deprecated.

Actually, I would call those yellow property nodes.

Yellow is the color for normal property nodes.

[paul_a_cardinale]

Yes,  I am aware that yellow is the color for normal property nodes.

I also know the difference between yellow and tan.

Brown is for properties which are marked as private.

I had never seen the brown nodes before.

In the VI you posted, it only showed blue, yellow, and red when I opened it on my PC.  That's why I thought you were calling the yellow nodes tan.  I don't know why the nodes have a different color on mine.
