Generic Properties Table

Property ID	Short Name (English)	Description	R/W	RTE
6327800	ClassID	Class identifier of the object. This integer uniquely identifies the class of a LabVIEW object. To view the corresponding class name of a LabVIEW object, use the Class Name property.	R	X
6327803	ClassName	Name of the VI Server class that contains the object.	R	X
6327805	Is On BD?	Returns TRUE when the object is located on the block diagram.	R	X
6327804	Modified		R	X
6327806	Owner	Reference to the owning object. The type of the reference is Generic. An object of class Panel does not have an owner (it is the top-level object) and always returns Not A Refnum. All objects in LabVIEW have an owning object. For example, the front panel and block diagram are the owning objects of all the objects contained within each, including controls and indicators. However, if a control is a cluster, the cluster would the owning object of all the objects inside it. Likewise, if the block diagram contains a sequence structure, the structure is the owning object of all the objects inside it. Individual controls also can be the owning object of less obvious objects. For example, numeric controls own their label, caption, and the increment and decrement buttons.	R	X
6327802	OwningVI	Returns a reference to the VI that owns this object. Close this reference when you are finished using it. The reference this property returns does not keep the VI in memory. If the owning VI is removed from memory, this reference becomes invalid. Use the Open VI Reference function to obtain a reference to a VI that stays in memory until you explicitly close the reference.	R	X

Generic Methods Table

Method ID	Short Name (English)	Description	RTE
6327405	Class Operator.Call	Calls the VI associated with the Operator Name, on the object. Returns FALSE if no operator VI is associated with the class of the object.	X
6327406	Class Operator.Traverse	Traverses the object tree of a specified object and performs a function on any object that has a process specified. If the traverse fails, LabVIEW returns FALSE. Traverse is a way to find object references without having to recursively find them in a VI or block diagram. Caution Do not attempt to modify code in traverse callbacks. This changes the stack the traverse operation is iterating through and can cause LabVIEW to crash.	X
6327400	Delete	Deletes the object. After LabVIEW deletes the object, all references to the object are invalid.	X
6327408	Get Property		X
6327409	Get Property Call Data		X
632740B	NI Sec.Get ACL		X
632740C	NI Sec.Remove ACL		X
632740A	NI Sec.Set ACL		X
632740D	SetHeapDocModForObject
6327407	Set Property		X
6327403	Tag.Get Tag	Returns a tag value associated with the tag. Returns FALSE if the tag does not exist.	X
6327402	Tag.Remove Tag	Removes the specified tag. Returns FALSE if LabVIEW did not remove the tag.	X
6327401	Tag.Set Tag	Sets a tag value. Returns FALSE if LabVIEW does not set the tag value.	X
6327404	Tag.Set Tag Persistence	Sets the persistence of the tag. Returns FALSE if not found.	X
