Template:LabVIEW configuration back This is a list of Miscellaneous LabVIEW ini File settings.

MRUFolders

Example MRUFolders=TRUE
Description MRUFolders:Most recently used folders. Every time you select a file in a file dialog in LabVIEW, that location (folder) becomes the new top item in the location area (left side of the dialog) of the Windows file dialog.
Datatype Boolean
Permitted Values TRUE, FALSE
Default Value FALSE
LabVIEW Versions

8.2

OS's Supported

Notes

BldApp.RemovePolyVIsandTypedefs

Example: BldApp.RemovePolyVIsandTypedefs=FALSE
Description: Setting this to TRUE stops the LabVIEW Application Builder from agressively removing polymorphic VIs and typedefs that it thinks are not required
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: TRUE
LabVIEW Versions: 7.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: By default, the LabVIEW 7.x Application Builder does not include type definitions and unused instances of polymorphic VIs into executable in order to decrease size of application. If a VI in your build calls an external VI that uses a type definition in order to pass parameters, and the AppBuilder is unaware of this external VI, it will end in tears

cleanupVisa

Example: coerceFromVariant=TRUE
Description: Force variants to automatically coerce to any data type that they are connected to
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: FALSE
LabVIEW Versions: 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: Tread carefully, as using this function removes coercion notifivation, and does not useerror handling

cleanupVisa

Example: cleanupVisa=TRUE
Description: Automatically close VISA sessions - do not require the use of the VISA Close VI
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: FALSE
LabVIEW Versions: 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: None

dropThroughClicks

Example: dropThroughClicks=FALSE
Description: Allow drop-through clicks
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: TRUE
LabVIEW Versions: 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: None

ExternalNodesEnabled

Example: ExternalNodesEnabled=FALSE
Description: Enables use of External Nodes
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: 6.x?, 7.x: TRUE 8.x: FALSE?
LabVIEW Versions: 6.x?, 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: None

ExternalNodeDebugging

Example: ExternalNodeDebugging=FALSE
Description: Shows External Nodes for what they are: sequence diagrams
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: FALSE
LabVIEW Versions: 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: None

hotMenus

Example: hotMenus=FALSE
Description: Use hot menus
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: TRUE
LabVIEW Versions: 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: None

openInRun

Example: openInRun=TRUE
Description: When opening VIs in the development environment, open them in run mode
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: FALSE
LabVIEW Versions: 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: None

readOnlyLock

Example: readOnlyLock=TRUE
Description: Treat read-only VIs as locked
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: FALSE
LabVIEW Versions: 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: It is important to set this to TRUE when using source code control outside of the LabVIEW environment, so LabVIEW will not allow a VI that is not checked out to the user to be edited

showBDConstName

Example: showBDConstName=TRUE
Description: Show auto-constant labels
Datatype: Boolean

Description: Display Tip Strips during execution
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: TRUE
LabVIEW Versions: 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: None

skipNavigatorDialog

suppressFileDlgForMissingVIs
