Exit LabVIEW from RunTime only

[instrumento]

Can we have an extra input to the Exit LabVIEW VI that would default to false for compatibilty, that when set to true will only exit if the VI is running under the RunTime (or Embedded) but not under development?

Some of our VIs/projects, exit at the end, but while debugging we really don't want to get out of LabVIEW, thus we have to have a construct  checking for the Application property, and a case statement for the current "exit" input

The Exit LabVIEW function (IMHO) should never be used.  You should let your VI stop normally and conditionally close the front panel.  This way the VI will go out of memory when it is done running and the RTE can shut down when there are no more VIs in memory.

Use the Conditional Diagram Disable Structure.  Set one case to be RUNTIME ENGINE == TRUE and shut down your VI there.  The other case should be default with nothing in it.

That was mentioned in the first comment.

Also mentioned there:

"You should let your VI stop normally and conditionally close the front panel."

Because:

"This way the VI will go out of memory when it is done running and the RTE can shut down when there are no more VIs in memory."

But Quit LabVIEW also works well. Until it doesn't. Be warned.
