An icon is a small graphical representation of a VI, custom control, project library, class, or XControl. You can create icons in LabVIEW to give these elements an identifying graphic.

The primary way to create icons is to use the Icon Editor dialog box. You can also drag and drop a graphic from the file system or use the VI Icon methods in the VI class to create icons.

Note This information describes creating icons that are associated with items in LabVIEW, such as VIs. For information on creating icons for applications that you are building with the LabVIEW Application Builder Module or the Application Builder, such as .ico files, see the related information.
