Get list of dynamic VI within an executable

[george seifert]

I've created an executable that contains several VIs that are called dynamically. I need to be able to get a list of the VIs contained in the executable. How can I do that?

Never mind. I see that there's a way to generate a log file during the build from which I can parse out the names I need.

A VI in an executable doesn't have a special "tag" to indicate it's called dynamically, since any VI can be called dynamically, even if it happens to be on the block diagram of one VI that is in the executable - another VI may go ahead and call that subVI dynamically. A project build spec will have a list of VIs that are added to the build since they are called dynamically by the code, but this list also include support VIs that you always want to include in the executable, regardless of whether they're called dynamically or not. Thus, this list could be misleading.

What are you trying to ultimately find out? Perhaps there's an alternate solution.

My knee-jerk reaction was "you could write a script for that"!

I have an idea sitting on my shelf (or a back-burner, I can't remember where I left it) that will require me to find dynamically called VIs.
