xcontrol file location

[AlanBCole]

How do I determine the file loaction of an xControl?  I am using the Vibration Logger (DAQmx) project as a base.  I know that the control on the DAQmx tab is an xControl.  I can not seem to find an easy way to find the location of the original file as I would like to modify this.  I can find the location by clicking the xControl, selecting Advanced/Show Diagram.  If i close the main VI I can then Go to Operate and Change to Edit Mode which will then allow me to view the VI properties where I can see the file location.  This seems rather compicated to me.

Hi Alan,

The XControl should be listed in the Project Explorer window. You should be able to access it from there, save it to a new location on disk, and modify it as needed.

My only complaint with this method is it will likely be under the dependencies section.  And in even a medium sized project there tends to be lots of stuff lumped in there.  Luckily the project explorer has a search function for finding your XContorl.
