Execution:Run When Opened
Indicates whether to run the VI when it opens.
This property is similar to the Run when opened option on the Execution page of the VI Properties dialog box.
Note LabVIEW ignores this property when you load the VI using the VI Server. Use the Run VI method to run a VI you load using the VI Server.
Note When a user launches a VI from a disk location other than standard NI installer locations, such as the LabVIEW 20XX or National Instruments\Shared folder, the user will be prompted to choose whether to run the VI or open it in edit mode.
