Editing the Palettes

When you click on the Controls Palette or Functions Palette icon in the Palette Preview area of the VI Package Builder window, a Palette Editor window will open.

The initial default palette shown is autogenerated by VIPM and is based on the directory structure of the source folder. Every folder is converted to a subpalette and every VI in the folder is shown as an icon in the palette. VIPM does not display folders in the palettes if they are prefixed with an _underscore. This can be useful if you have support VIs that you don’t want to have show up in the palettes.

The Palette Editor supports Drag & Drop and right-clicking on items and empty space.  It behaves like the palette editor in LabVIEW, but with some extra features.


Subtopics:

Drag & Drop
