Class control (.lvclass) in controls palette

[vugie]

I want to have a class control in my controls palette. When I try to point .lvclass file in palette editor nothing happens.

I'm only able to add it to the palette with following code:

(note "World.ctl" after lvclass path)

With this method control appears in the palette as big quotation mark (same as when item is not found), but works good.

Is there any "normal" method to add .lvclass to palette?

Hi Vugie

I recommend creating a .ctl file with a copy of the Class Control on it.

Then add it to your Controls palette.

The above is all transparent to the user - they can select it just like normal.

Thanks, jgcode. I didn't think about something so obvious. However it is still a workaround.

I made a simple VI which automates this job. It searches recursivly for .lvclass files and creates controls for them in given folder, copying an icon and with firendly name. Maybe it'll be usefull for someone. LV2009
