Make Open VI Reference return 'This VI' refnum for clones

Status: New

Hi,

 

In this thread we discuss among other things the fact that we supposedly weren't meant to be able to get a new VI refnum to reentrant clones by using the Open VI Reference primitive. NI apparently says this is a bad idea although it's (currently) possible.

 

Instead of that functionality going missing sometime in the future I propose that the Open VI Reference primitive simply returns the clone's 'This VI' refnum when you point it at a clone.

 

Cheers,

Steen
