Application:Command Line Arguments Property

LabVIEW 2011 Help

Edition Date: June 2011

Part Number: 371361H-01

»View Product Info

Short Name: App.Args

Requires: Base Package

Class: Application Properties

To Use: Create a property.

Returns an array of user-defined command-line arguments passed when LabVIEW launched.

User-defined arguments start after two hyphens (--) surrounded by spaces in the command line.

The first string in the array is the name of the executable launched. This property does not return the name of the VI launched or the LLB that contains the VI. If a user-defined command-line argument contains double quotation marks ("), this property returns the argument without the quotation marks.

If you use this property in a stand-alone application, you can pass all arguments as user-defined arguments so you do not need to enter the two hyphens before user-defined arguments in the command line.

This property is similar to the Pass all command line arguments to application option on the Advanced page of the Application Properties dialog box.
