Hi George,

Yo' typed:

And I took it as such and am glad to see you did too. >:)) I figured you
probably knew about the VIServer method.

Code Challenge:
But I think that it will soon be possible to do exactly what you say above,
grab a VI's own icon, drag and drop, and (if you have a switch or two set
and some LabVIEW scripting in place) have the VI replaced on the diagram
with a subVI created from a template (like the Factorial VI) modified by
LabVIEW scripting, with the name of the VI replaced, or Run Method calls,
etc.

We just need to be able to capture the LabVIEW error/exception before the
error dialog pops up and script away.  Now that I think of it, I don't know
of anything concrete, but I'd be pretty surprised if someone at NI doesn't
either already have this or could code it up pretty quickly.

Sounds like it would make a good IFLV/OpenG/LAVA/NIDevZone coding challenge
considering that the scripting interface has been unofficially exposed
recently.

Any thoughts anyone? (or better yet, code)

Ciao,
Mike
