Creating Shared Variables programmatically w/o DSC?

[vestman]

Hi,

I am trying to create a number of Shared Variables programmatically. My plan is to read a configuration file and create the number of variables needed.

I understand (from the excellent Shared Variable FAQ) that this is possible "with a VI server interface to the LabVIEW project".

I have found a method called AddItem that requires "Name", "Path" and "Type" inputs. Is this the method to use and if so, how do I specify path and type? The documentation on this topic is really non-existent.

There is an example up on NI.com here:

Programatically Creating Shared Variables in LabVIEW 8.2

Thanks! Don't know how I missed that one.
