"Fake Exec State" - an interesting private method


Recommended Posts

Put that in a VI and click the Run arrow. The VI will keep running even though it looks like it's stopped. You can even use this to do VI scripting on a running VI! Since this is a private method, do not rely on this working, and don't complain to NI if it breaks something. Like with many other things I've posted, this is done at your own risk, and is posted only for the sake of sharing something cool I found.

When the Application builder renames VIs and X-Controls, the X-Control gets locked as soon as the VI using it gets loaded into memory. So my guess this feature or another hidden feature is used to be able to modified/rename locked items.

 

It seems more likely that Fake Exec State would be able to do that. (not sure if it actually can)
