Does the UI Manager support Custom VI Tools?

[beavercreek]

Hi, I've poked around the UI Manager some and looked through the help, but I can be a little obtuse.  Is there a section that describes how to add Custom VI Tools to the UI Manager?

Hi beavercreek,

The following tutorial has some good insight regarding how to add a custom VI tool to the VS Workspace:  https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YFZiCAO&l=en-US

Hopefully this gets you headed in the right direction!

Hi  beavercreek,

From my understanding, there are not a lot of options to load custom items into the UI Manager. But, one thing you can do to load your custom VIs into your UI Manager on VeriStand 2015 SP1, is to use the Action Controls. So, you can build your custom VIs into an executable on LabVIEW and launch them into the UI Manager with this tool.

Hopefully you can find this information helpful!

Warm Regards,
