'''XNodes''' are a technology built into [[LabVIEW]], starting in [[LabVIEW 8]]. They allow dynamic edit-time macro support. XNodes are [[Library\|Libraries]] that feature several '''[[List_of_XNode_Abilities\|Ability VIs]]'''. These '''Ability VIs''' contain code the is executed by events that fire from the IDE (i.e. when clicked on, a wire is connected to one of its terminals, a right-click menu item is selected, etc.) An XNode ultimately scripts a wrapper VI that contains the code that will execute in the program using the XNode.

	that is displayed in the palette is that stored in the .xnode file and not the image created by the [[Image (XNode Ability)\|Image]] Ability vi. It is possible to set the icon in the .xnode file by manually editing the xml file. One way of doing this is to create a LabVIEW library (.lvlib, not .llb) from within LabVIEW and edit the icon for this library. Then making sure that all references to the Xnode are closed, open both the .lvlib file and .xnode file in a text editor and copy across the <Property Name="NI.Lib.Icon"... line.		that is displayed in the palette is that stored in the .xnode file and not the image created by the [[Image (XNode Ability)\|Image]] Ability vi.

			== Developing XNodes ==
			LabVIEW contains functionality to create and edit XNodes as libraries, similar to [[XControl\|XControls]]; however, this functionality is not an official part of LabVIEW and is disabled by default. On Linux and macOS, you can enable this functionality in the [[LabVIEW configuration file]], by setting <code>XNodeDevelopment_LabVIEWInternalTag</code> to True.

			On Windows, it is not quite as simple, as the functionality is instead enabled via the license manager, requiring an activated license containing the feature <code>LabVIEW_XNodeDevelopment</code>. However, NI does not sell (nor give away) this license, and their server will not activate it for anyone outside of NI. As such, unless you work for NI, enabling XNode development on Windows requires one to bypass the license manager somehow, which may be illegal in some jurisdictions even if you aren't using it for piracy. One alternative is to use another tool to create and edit XNodes, such as hooovahh's [https://lavag.org/files/file/293-xnode-editor/ XNode Editor].

			If you have enabled XNode development natively, "XNode" will be available as an option in the File->New dialog. It will appear in the same way as any type of library, and you can add Ability VI's just like one would on an XControl.
