Complete the following steps to edit this project:

  1. Clone this repo into a development location (e.g., C:\dev).
  2. Run Tooling\Prepare LV to Use Icon Editor Source.vi. This will perform the following steps, which you can alternatively perform manually:
    • Delete <LabVIEW>\resource\plugins\lv_icon.lvlipb
    • Delete <LabVIEW>\vi.lib\LabVIEW Icon API
    • Set LocalHost.LibraryPaths in your labview.ini file to the location of this project. For example:*
      • LocalHost.LibraryPaths="C:\dev\labview-icon-editor"
  3. Open lv_icon_editor.lvproj in LabVIEW.
  4. The top-level VI is in the Project Explorer at My Computer » resource/plugins » lv_icon.lvlib » lv_icon.vi.
