Installed With: Base Package
Class: Library Methods
This method changes the icon of each VI in the library. The method places the library icon over the existing VI icon. This allows you to update VI icons after editing the library icon. The black and white library icon is used as a mask to decide what region of the VI icon to overwrite. This method will load member VIs of the library into memory if they are not already in memory. Callers may be prompted to provide VI passwords or to save the loaded VIs.
