Triple Green Down Arrows in Typedef ctl

[SmplLbV123]

Hi,

I was modifying a typedef and I sometimes see the triple green down arrow icon on display right below the menu. Please see attachment. Does anyone know what does this icon is called so I can do a search of what it is. When does it appear?  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Hi SmplLVV123.

This is the "Synchronize with Other Application Instances" button referred to here:

LabVIEW Help: Working with Application Instances

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361K-01/lvconcepts/application_instances/

This is seen when making modifications to code (or network shared variables, etc.) that exist in multiple applicaiton instances (typically different targets in a project) - this updates the copy in memory for each instance.  Since you were modifying a typedef, it sounds like it needed to be synchronized across multiple targets.
