show block diagram programmatically?

[NIquist]

I'm almost sure that I did this once and then took it back out.  (the "show block daigram" case in the Menu Selection choice of an event structure is still in my code).

Anyway, I often start a program that runs for hours and then realize that I need to open subVIs or probe some wires.  Since these programs have run-time menus I don't have the option to open the diagram once the VI is running.  Is there a way to programmatically open the block diagrams window when a VI is running? 

Thanks,

K

See reply #29 in this thread.

I'm intrigued.  I found the code which did showed the Block diagram, but I cannot find those properties in the VI class.  I went back to 7.1.  Are they hidden somewhere I am not seeing, or is there something else I am missing?

Go to the LAVA forums and look at the VI Scripting forum for the full story.

Shhhh......

Its a secret.

But now that you know then you can appreciate the beauty of these items.

The ini used is one of the few time that LabVIEW programmer cares about proper syntax.

OR (to take this analogy way to far)

It is THE "G-String"
