Add 'Apply Icon to VIs' button to Library Properties Dialog

Status: Completed
by Member hfettig on ‎10-16-2009 10:06 AM
One thing I like about using Project Libraries is the ability to configure an Icon for the library that is overlaid on all of its new VIs. If you change this icon, you are asked, whether you want to apply this to all the VIs in the library. Unfortunately, once you have created the icon, there is no simple way to re-apply this icon to VIs and CTLs that you have added to the library. You can work around it using a few property and invoke nodes to programmatically call the proper method, but a simple button on the 'General' page of the library properties would make things a lot easier.

I agree that it's a good idea to have an "apply to all" button, but a workaround is to make a small change to the icon template - then you'll be prompted to apply.

A good idea. So good, in fact, I decided to implement it. You can download VIs to patch your copy of LV 2009 here:
