Get Palette Item Icon from the Item Name or Item Path

Status: New

The palette API VIs (Read Palette.vi & Write Palette.vi) return built in function and control items as "BUILT_IN_FUNC_xxxx_x_x..." paths. There is no easy method to fetch the item name or icon for built in items. The private invoke node method APP : Palette : Get Palette Item Icon only accepts the Item Name.

 

This idea is to either:

    Idea 1: Add an application method to return the Item Name given the palette's Item Path (and vice versa).

-and/or-

    Idea 2: Extend the App : Palette : Get Palette Item Icon invoke node to accept either the Item Name -or- Item Path when fetching the palette item's icon.
