How to password lock an entire LLB of VIs

[DEppAtNGC]

How can a password be assigned to lock an entire LLB of VIs? I have a great number of VI's that I have placed into a few LLB's. I would like to lock them with a password without having to load and save each one individually. Is there a way to do this?

Many Thanks...

No. But you can write a program to make the change to the VIs in the LLB. Just be sure that you also have your VIs backed up somewhere outside of a library. If a LLB gets corrupted you lose all the VIs in the library.

Could you point me to the names of a few key VIs I'll need to list the VIs in the LLB and change the password?

To read the contents of a LLB, use the same functions you would to list the contents of a directory. For setting the password, use the Lock State.Set and Save.Instrument VI methods.

If you have labview 8.x you can make or build  a source distribution. If you do it correct. You can make a mirror of your current project, but with password. I find it more convenient working this way. See picture.

Well do not tell this to anybody! If you do I must hunt you down, and put you to silence. If this is not enough. I will install Windows ME as OS on your computer
