jgcode Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 [Cross-Posted to NI] If I have a VI that has an icon with layers: And I get it's icon data via the invoke node: Then call the Icon Editor I can't see the layers The API for the Icon Editor seems to be just the image data. Does anyone know how to: Load the layers programatically and invoke the Icon Editor? Update only one layer programmatically? Quote Link to comment
PJM_labview Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 As far as I know, the image data does not have layer information but instead the "merged" (flatten) layer data. It is my understanding the the layer data is stored as tag in the VI file and they are not accessible through the get as image data method. PJM Quote Link to comment

But I suspect it used the scripting method to read tag data. PJM Quote Link to comment
