How to edit the appearance of one instance of a type def (not strict)?

[Jaegen]

Hello,

I would like to edit the appearance of a control (changes which require using the LV control editor).  Unfortunately, this control is an instance of a (non strict) type def.  How do I do this, without editing the appearance of the type def itself?

Thanks,

Jaegen

Hi Jaegen, this worked for me...

Open the typedef - don't worry, you aren't going to _save_ changes

Edit typedef as needed

[When done editing] copy connector-pane (select, ctrl-C)

File\Revert !!!

Select target-control and paste!

In LabVIEW 7.1, the edited/pre-reverted ... ouch ... control appears (and still connected to typedef).
