Issue with Icon Editor API and LV Class Reference

Hi Tom

Thanks again for updating the API.

However, I am having issues with changing a LV Class icon.

As per the video below if I update the icon then read it back I get a blank array!

Its not until I open the icon through the Icon Editor and click ok that it then updates the icon

It seems that data maybe getting corrupted?

Do you have any suggestions?

Cheers

I made a silly mistake. I have caught this error in every VI but when writing the user layer 😞

If there is not icon editor data, the parsing of the data is not valid which returns an error -> I didn't catch this error and therefore the user layers don't get written.
