Creating ActiveX Subpalettes

You can convert ActiveX controls to custom controls and add them to a palette.

Complete the following steps to add a set of ActiveX controls to a palette.

  1. Select Tools»Import»ActiveX Controls to Palette to display the Add ActiveX Controls to Palette dialog box, which lists the ActiveX controls registered on the computer.
  2. Select one or more controls in the Controls list and click the OK button.
  3. From the file dialog box that appears, select the directory or .llb file in which you want to store the controls. The default destination is the labview\menus\Controls\DotNet & ActiveX directory, which places controls that you add on the .NET & ActiveX palette.
Caution  Do not save your own VIs and other files in .llb files installed with LabVIEW.
