Add the ability to enable list view (i.e. disable "View as Icon") for objects other than subVIs

[Senthil_Prakash]

When Considering some Standard VI's view as icon is missing, if all the VI's having View As Icon enabled means it will be easy to use

Below is one of the example

[admin edit] Changed title to make intent of idea more clear. Previous title was "VIiew as icon missing in some Standard vis".

Can you add a picture as to what you think the alternative view of this is supposed to be?

Keep in mind that subVI's have the right click options to view or not view as an icon.  Primitives do not.  Datasocket Read seems to be a primitive.  It is not a VI.

1.  It has the yellow background color which generally indicates primitives.

2.  When you double click on it, nothing else opens.

You can't do a View as Icon setting on other more obvious primitives such as add and multiply either.

Sentil_Prakesh: You are correct. We have never implemented View As Icon for non-VIs. Only subVI calls have this option. I take it your idea is to add that view for other nodes?
