How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?

[Caribe]

I am in the Moment working on the Development of an Express VI
library for test purposes.

How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?

This happens when the Express VI is inserted in the blockdiagram
and listed in LabVIEW and TestStand Palettes.

By short names like "DAQ-Assistent" or "EasyCalc" the string " Source.vi"
is not shown at the end of the Express VI names.

I used The Express VI Dev Toolkit 1.0 to create the Express VIs.
Labview Version: 7.1 Base
TestStand: 3.1

It would be great to get the expert advice from the Forum for this issue!

Thanks a lot.

I think I understand what you are asking for. If I am wrong, please try to explain it a bit more.

The name shown may be different than the name of the vi file. To do this, your source VI and popup on its icon. From the short menu that comes up, select VI properties. In the top ring, select Window Appearance. The page that comes up lets you set various things that can affect the appearance of the VI. What you want to change is the window title. Uncheck the Same as VI name checkbox and change the string to whatever you want it to be.

I hope that this helps,
Bob

Thanks a lot bob!

This just solved my problem :-)))

I think this seems at first a ploblem with
less importance, but name conventions and clarity
for the Express VI Library user is very important!
