Automatically Add a Tool to a Project

[Call_Me_Vinny]

Same question, but with a Tool this time:

Unfortunately that's not possible this time. The list of the tools for a given project is a rather mysterious variant. There's no way to decipher this and edit it. Just like the content of the workspace, for instance.

You can still call a tool that is not bound to the project through the API (NI VeriStand - Open Workspace Tool.vi - or IProject.OpenTool(string Path)). You just need the path (Warning, the VI must be a source distribution!) for that.

One way to do this is working from the other end... have a template project that is already set up... then copy it on disk to make your specific instance. This source does that: https://github.com/NIVeriStandAdd-Ons/Test-Cell-Controller-NIVS-Project-Tool
