This page includes the following components:

  The icon you select becomes the default icon for any VIs you create from within a LabVIEW class. You can create a template icon to edit and use in all VIs that a LabVIEW class owns.

Users must enter a password to edit the LabVIEW class. Click the Change Password button to reset the password.

    Note  If you set a password for the LabVIEW class, the password does not take effect until you clear the password cache or restart LabVIEW. You can clear the password cache from the Environment page of the Options dialog box.
