Allow user to override the icon editor with their own version

Status: In Development Submitted by Member on 10-14-2024 10:03 PM 5 Comment

The idea is to decouple the icon editor from LabVIEW so users can create their own. The intention is to make it easier for people to distribute their own icon editors by only having to place code on disk and modifying an ini token.

 

This would mean modifying lv_icon.vi so that it contains nothing but a launcher that would load the new icon editor from a path specified on a LabVIEW INI token.

 

There will be a default plugin that would hold the current icon editor, the path to the default icon editor would be a part of the LabVIEW ini file on LabVIEW install.

 

I created a working prototype that does that here.

 

I want to make sure this idea gets traction before going further with this.

Support Unicode

Status: In Development Submitted by Trusted Enthusiast on 06-06-2009 12:39 AM 47 Comment

Support unicode officially for all FP indicators and controls! Captions and string indicators can be "coaxed" into showing Unicode characters (among other controls/indicators), but trees and listboxes (among most others) cannot show Unicode.

 

Of course, this may have a small audience, but anyone who has developed a UI meant to be distributed to half a dozen language-speakers has probably fought the same Unicode battles and figured out the display "hacks" that we have.
