Add "Auto Dispose Reference" and "Wait Until Done" to VI Properties

[jon_mcbee]

Enable a Sub VI to launch as a daemon without having to open a reference to it using its path.  The VI Properties page would look like this:

Wait until done would be checked by default, and auto dispose reference would be left false be default.  So instead of parsing the path to the VI on disk and using a method to run it:

I just set the correct properties in the VI Properties page and drop the subVI on the block diagram of the calling VI.

Just drop a static VI reference and wire that to the Run VI method. Or pop up on a subVI node and select "Call Setup" option.

I didn't know about the "Call Setup" option, thanks for the tip!

Are you essentially referring to this?

And to expand on Jack's comment, look at my second comment in that thread which does basically what you want - drop a VI in a CBR node and it will be run dynamically.

As AQ mentioned, the groundwork for this actually exists today, because if you change the load settings on a subVI, it is wrapped in a CBRN. However, it does NOT have the Wait Until Done flag set to F, which is the critical point, so AQ's suggestion does not work today.

Since this idea is close enough to another idea that has more votes, I am going to close this one as a duplicate and direct people there.
