Don't put an XControl inside the configuration VI of an Express VI.

OK,  Paul, I'll ask!  Why not?  Did you have a poor experience?  Please elaborate.

It would cause LV 2018 to crash every time I tried to open the VI.  In LV 2019 and 2020, it would open OK (but slowly) and it would always have a dirty *.

Paul, 

A bit more detail...  Frankly, it "Should " work.  (I am not saying that placing an X-control ANYWHERE is the best idea) but your blanket statement "Don't Do This" begs for specific reasons and examples. 

Fair enough?

At least I didn't have to go through 25 pages of ads to find out what I shouldn't do
