ProjectItem

The ProjectItem class in VI Server allows you to inspect and modify items that appear in the Project window, such as VIs, virtual folders, classes, libraries, etc.

If you have a reference to a ProjectItem, you can read the TypeString property of the item to identify what kind of item it is:

This is the same string you can use for the Type parameter of the Get All Descendents method of the ProjectItem class to get all children of a ProjectItem that match a specific type:

The following table lists valid TypeString values and their descriptions. Update this table with new type strings as you discover them.
