GetVIEditorVersion Method

Requires: Base Development System

Class: Application Methods (ActiveX)

Returns the version of LabVIEW that last saved the VI. This version might be different than the file format version of the VI. For example, if you used LabVIEW 9.0.1 to save a VI, the VI has a file format version of 9.0, but this method returns 9.0.1. To obtain the file format version of the VI, use the GetVIVersion method.

LabVIEW does not open the VI when retrieving the version information. If you specify a path to a file that is not a VI, LabVIEW returns error 6559.
