Hi, this is my first question here. I am trying to create a permanent running, ObtainInfo.vi, in LV 7.1 that automatically gets ínfo from other running VI:s. I would like to obtain info from the other VI:s when the mouse is being clicked over there. Information could be the other VI:s name and/or reference. I have tried different methods without any results.

I gave it a try myself. The screenshot is attached. The problems unsolved are some errors I get when I used all VIs, the execution state property is the workaround for this. You certainly also want to have it for VIs that are Running (not top-level). Felix

How do I get VI name and path where mouse is programatically from another VI

Solved!

Hi Felix,

Thanks for noticing me. I took care of the Shift register and the solution is being made for 7.1, so I will keep the other tips in mind in cas of upgrade. Apparently the solution in 2009 is only a fraction of the code in 7.1. See the image.
