XControl abilities are components of the XControl that the XControl requires to function properly. When you create an XControl, LabVIEW automatically creates the required abilities. Complete the following steps to add an optional ability to an XControl library.
In the Project Explorer window, right-click the XControl library and select New»Ability from the shortcut menu to display the Select Ability dialog box. This dialog box lists all required and optional abilities that are applicable to the XControl. Use the Select Ability dialog box to add optional abilities to the XControl library.
In the Abilities section, select an ability and click the Add button to add the ability to the XControl library.
To edit the ability, double-click the ability in the XControl library to open the VI or type definition that represents the ability.
