Is library part of another library


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find out if a given library is part of another libary. I don't get anything sane to work.

For a VI there is a 'Library' property that returns the owning library reference. For a library such feature does not exist.

Even stranger is that the 'Localized Name' or 'Display Name' only contain the bare name of the library.

I currently have one workaround:

And this solution needs any VI to be inside the lvlib root-folder.

PS this code needs to be done in 8.2 so any ideas?

@tonplomp If you have the library's ProjectItem, you can get Parent in a loop until you hit a target or a library.

So I builded the following project setup:

The 'Untitled 4.vi' has the following contents:

Note that the Parent's ref of the folder is not valid! Somehow the folder inside the top-level library has no valid parent :(
