You can use this item ID to uniquely identify the referenced item even if the path, name, or location in the Project Explorer window changes.Library Item Type:StringReturns the type of the project item as it exists in the project library as a string. This property returns an error if the project item is not part of a library.

You can use this reference with the VI properties.VI Reference No LoadIf the project item refers to a VI in memory, this property returns a reference to the VI. If the project item refers to a VI not in memory or to something that is not a VI, this property returns Not a Refnum. You can use this reference with the VI properties.Variable ReferenceReturns a reference to the variable the referenced project item references. If the referenced project item is not a variable item, this property returns Not a Refnum.
