If i open a VI without the use of a Project and the VI contains an XControl how do I:
A) Know that the control I'm looking at is an Xcontrol ?
and
B) Navigate to the *.xctl file in order to make changes to this XControl?
For example, open the "Run Dual Mode Thermometer XControl.vi". I have no way of knowing the controls used in this example are XControl nor can I find a path or navigate to the *.xctl file
On the Control or Terminal you can Right-Click -> Advanced -> Show Diagram to see the XControl Facade. From the Facade you can View -> Browse Relationships -> This VI's XControl.
To know it is an XControl you can use Icon view for the terminals, or View the Hierarchy to find all instances of the selected XControls.
