Edit Palette Set disabled?

[lmd2]

recently lost my hard drive so just reinstalled LabVIEW 8.6.1f1 and 9.0f3

now (and this is in both 8.6 and 2009) when I right click the Function palette and Control palette open on the Express; for years I have been opening to Functions to Programming and Control to Modern. But I cannot change it - going to Advanced > Edit Palette Set opens the dialog, shows Current Palette Set is Local Host, but the 2 palette sets are un-editable and the View button is greyed out. is there some priveledge that I need to set? Seems I've done this before (way back when) what's changed?

thanx

lmd2,

I think what you may be wanting to do you'll find by first pinning a palette

Then select view to either change the standard view or visible categories.

 

Hope this is what you were looking for.

okay

that is what I get for reading the help

DO NOT go to Advanced > Edit Palette Sets ...

just pin up a palette in the work environment -

yeah thanks, jrjones

I figured it was something simple

I can change the view of my functions palette but after I close the palette and then reopen it, it's reverts back the the Category (Standard) view.  When I was running LabView 8.6 I could change the view and it would stay to the view I had changed it to.  How do I save the palette view after I change it on LabView 2009?

Thanks

Go to Tools > Options... and select the Controls/Functions Palettes

Then, select the Format and Navigation Buttons you want from the drop down menus.

I like to set Format to Icons and Navigation Buttons to Icons Only.

Hope this helps,

James
