How to tell if current VI is EXE?


Recommended Posts

I'm sure there's a better way to do this, and I'm relatively new to Application Builder.

I've noticed in my EXEs that when the top level VI completes execution, the VI stops and the run button, etc becomes visible, but the EXE doesn't close.

I could add the "Application Exit" function to the program, but when I'm developing, I don't want it to completely exit when the VI completes execution.

Is there a function or property (I haven't been able to find it, perhaps I"m not looking hard enough) that indicates whether the current VI is a VI or EXE? Currently, what I've been doing is parsing the top level VI for its filename extension and exiting only if it finds an EXE. It seems to me that there should be a better way to do this and I've just been missing it.

Thanks guys!
