Change the text of the Icon

[JdP]

Hi,

I've got some VIs that have a text in common in their icons but I would like to change that text because I'm going to use that VIs in another part of the project. So, how can I change that text programmatically in all VIs that are in the same directory?.

I know it's possible because in the GOOP Developer program they do.

Thanks,

There are several subvis in the icon editor that you might find useful. I've created subvis to generate a header as well as import and export the vi's Icon.

You might als want to Google on LabVIEW Icon Editor, etc. There have been several free versions of icon banner replacement tools created by the community over the past few years that do exactly what you want.

Thanks Mark and Mike,

There's an Icon Editor that can be downloades from NI web which has been modified by people in OpenG forum. This Editor, I think, that might suite me.

I've got a problem, Mark, with the VI you attach in the topic 'using your own Icon Editor in LV8, LV8 allow your to use your personal icon editor' because I'm using LabVIEW v7.1 and I can't open them.

Thanks again Mark and Mike.

Here is my original Icon editor written in 7.1.

It requires the reference of the VI as an input.

Hey Mark - ever considered putting this up into the LAVA Code respository?
