Hi,
I've developed some XNodes that I now want to add to functions palette. The problem is that I don't know how to define the palette icon for an XNode. If I add MyXNode.xnode to functions palette, then for some reason LabVIEW shows the icon of MyXNode.xnode:Help.vi and not the library icon. Has anybody succesfully defined the palette icon of the XNode? Tomi -------------------- Tomi Maila

I had the same problem.
By error and trial I figure out that you have to change the icon of the help ability and the palette will display it. Just to be safe I typically put the icon I want in both the XNode and in the Help ability. If you don't have a help ability I think you can use the initialize ability icon. PJM --------------------

Thanks  I'll use the Help ability then to specify the palette icon. I just got ready my first actually useful set of XNodes that are not only playing around but actually meant for powerful programming tools Tomi -------------------- Tomi Maila
