Application Properties (ActiveX)
Installed With: Base Package
An Application object exports properties that affect LabVIEW.
 | Note Property parameters denoted by [] are optional for that property or method. |
Refer to the ActiveX Enumerations for more information about the enumerations used in various properties.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| AllProjects | Returns an array of references to each LabVIEW project in memory. You can use these references with the Project properties. Details |
| AllVIsInMemory | Returns a list of VIs in memory for the calling VI application instance. This property returns an error if you use it to return a list of remote VIs. Use the ExportedVIs property to return a list of exported VIs. This property is read only. This property is available only in the local versions of LabVIEW. Details |
| AppKind | Indicates the LabVIEW instance the VI is running in, including invalid application types. Details |
| ApplicationDirectory | Absolute path to the directory where the application is located. This property is read only. Details |
| AppName | Filename of the application. This property is read only. Details |
| AppTargetCPU | Indicates the target CPU of an application. This property is read only. Details |
| AppTargetOS | Indicates the operating system for which the application was built. This property is read only. Details |
| AutomaticClose | Specifies whether the application closes when all the references to it are released. The default is TRUE. Details |
| CmdArgs | Returns an array of user-defined command-line arguments passed when LabVIEW launched. Details |
| DefaultDataLocation | Path to the LabVIEW Data directory. Details |
| ExportedVIs | Returns a list of exported VIs in memory. This property is read only. Details |
| Language | Indicates the language of the LabVIEW environment or stand-alone application as a string according to ISO 639. Values include en, de, fr, ja, ko, and zh-cn. Details |
| OSName | Name of the operating system where the application is actually running. This string value is the same as AppTargetOS, except among versions of Windows—specifically, AppTargetOS has one enumeration on Windows 2000/XP while OSName returns the exact version of Windows your application is running on. This property is read only. Details |
| OSVersion | Version number of the actual operating system. This property is read only. Details |
| PrintDefaultPrinter | Gets or sets the name of the default printer in LabVIEW. Details |
| PrintersAvailable | Returns an alphabetized array of printer names available on the computer. Details |
| PrintingColorDepth | If TRUE, LabVIEW sends color/grayscale output to the printer. If FALSE, LabVIEW sends monochrome output to the printer. Details |
| PrintMethod | Gets or sets how LabVIEW prints. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomConnector | Specifies whether to print the connector pane and icon of VIs when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomControlDesc | Specifies whether to print descriptions of front panel controls when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomControls | Specifies whether to print LabVIEW front panel control information when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. This property does not affect the image of the front panel, just the list of controls and indicators in the generated documentation. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomControlTypes | Specifies whether to print data type information for LabVIEW front panel controls when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomDescription | Specifies whether to print VI descriptions when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomDiagram | Specifies whether to print LabVIEW block diagrams when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomDiagramHidden | Specifies whether to print the hidden frames in LabVIEW Case and Stacked Sequence structures that might be present on the block diagram when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomDiagramRepeat | Specifies whether to print visible subdiagrams of each Case, Event, and Stacked Sequence structure in sequence with the non-visible subdiagrams when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. If you print the visible frames in sequence, those frames will print twice. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomExpressVIConfigInfo | Specifies whether to print the configuration information for any LabVIEW Express VIs on the block diagram when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomHierarchy | Specifies whether to print the hierarchy of the VI in memory when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomHistory | Specifies whether to print the VI revision history information when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomLabel | Specifies whether to print the label and/or caption for each control when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomPanel | Specifies whether to print the LabVIEW front panel when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomPanelBorder | Specifies whether to print the LabVIEW front panel with a border when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. Details |
| PrintSetupCustomSubVIs | Specifies whether to print a list of the LabVIEW subVIs and Express VIs including the icon, name, and path when using the custom format with one of the print documentation VI methods. If a polymorphic VI is a subVI, LabVIEW prints the instance used in the top-level VI including the icon, name, and path. If the top-level VI is polymorphic, LabVIEW prints a list of all the instances of the polymorphic VI including the icon, name, and path of each instance. Details |
| PrintSetupFileWrapText | Maximum number of characters on a single line in a file. Affects the PrintVIToHTML, PrintVIToRTF, and PrintVIToText methods. Set this property to 0 to print all the characters on one line so the text does not wrap. Details |
| PrintSetupJPEGQuality | Percentage value from 0 to 100 specifying the level of quality you want for the JPEG graphic in VIs printed either interactively or with the PrintVIToHTML method. The scale balances image quality and file size. A value in the 75-95 range produces a compressed file with a high-quality image, and a value below 50 produces a smaller file size with a low-quality image. The default is 80. Details |
| PrintSetupPNGCompressLevel | Number between –1 and 9 that specifies the level of compression you want for the PNG file for graphics in VIs printed either interactively or with the PrintVIToHTML method. The quality of the graphic is not affected by the compression, but the graphic file size and speed of compression are affected by this value. Valid values range from –1 to 9 and balance file compression with speed. 0 designates no compression. 1 designates the best speed with some compression. 9 designates the best compression, but slower speed. –1 (the default value) designates the best combination of good compression and speed. Details |
| RTHostConnected | If you are not targeted to a real-time (RT) platform, this property is always TRUE. If you are targeted to an RT-platform and the host is connected, this property is TRUE. When this property is FALSE, the host is not connected, requiring that the RT Module application must be able to handle all operations independent of the host. Use this property to determine when it is safe to display a dialog box that requires user interaction. Details |
| SaveVersions | An array of the LabVIEW versions to which this version of LabVIEW can save. The array is in reverse chronological order, with the element at position zero in the array being the current version of LabVIEW. Each element of the array is a valid version to pass to VI server functions which save to previous versions. Details |
| ShowFPTipStrips | Writing the property: Setting this property to TRUE enables the display of tip strips on LabVIEW front panel controls. Setting the property to FALSE prevents them from being displayed. Reading the property: Specifies whether tip strips display when idling over controls on the front panel. Details |
| UserName | User name used to open the application. This property is read only. Details |
| Version | Version number of the application. This property is read only. Details |
| VIServerPort | Gets or sets the LabVIEW VI server port. LabVIEW returns an error if you attempt to access this property on a remote application. Details |
