Express VIs in LabVIEW

Some days ago, I started getting experience with the so-called Express VIs in LabVIEW (8.6).

It has turned out that I should put them into %somewhere%/user.lib/_express, i. e. outside the project directory.

If I do so, they are of use for me and only for me. As soon as someone else tries to work with this project, e.g. if it is in a source control repository or something else, he开发者_如何学Python cannot do so because he hasn't my Express VI templates.

Is there a way to define an Express VI when it does not com from the menu, but lies in the project directory?

You can save express VIs to any location, just add their containing folder to the palette with Tools>Advanced>Change visible palettes.

As a point of style, Express VI's are not the way to go, as they hide quite a bit of the functionality. You're usually going to be better off using a Functional Global structure, or its generalization: the Action Engine.
