[cross-posted from OpenG] HI, I have copied this issue I raise on the OpenG forums a while ago now as it is a tool I use a lot and I have a proposed fix (maybe not the best one). I would really like to see if this could be progressed. cheers Dannyt -------------------------------- Hi, Under LabVIEW 7.0 I found the package ogrsc_compare_vi_to_disk-1.1-1 to be very useful, we used it a great deal to carry out peer reviews of our code. Since recently upgrading to LabVIEW 8.2.1, I found this package no longer worked. I have spent a bit of time playing with it and have now managed to fix it. I had to change the main VI compare_vi_to_disk__compare_vi_to_disk.vi to be aware of application contexts. I do not know if my method is the best way to fix this problem, or if this work is already in progress, but it does work and allows me to use this useful package again. In case anybody else find this useful I have attached a labVIEW 8.2.1 copy of my fix below, it needs to replace the existing version in the the compare_vi_to_disk.llb in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\project. I have only check it works for package version 1.1-1 compare_vi_to_disk__compare_vi_to_disk.vi compare_vi_to_disk__compare_vi_to_disk_auto_run_off.vi The second version is with the auto run at open disable, so less hassle to see the changes. How does one go about requesting, the package to be updated or offering help to get packages update ?

For inserting an object's UI into a subpanel, I have used the reverse approach successfully - I have a DD VI that accepts a reference to a subpanel called something like "Insert UI", then its up to the individual class to decide what VI gets inserted and give the opportunity for the class to do any housekeeping before actually displaying its UI to a user.
