Issue Details

Is it possible to add custom glyphs to tree controls and single/multicolumn listboxes in LabVIEW?

Solution

Custom glyphs can be added to trees and listboxes using the Custom Item Symbols:Set To Custom Symbol method. You can use this method with any image files, including the LabVIEW-specific icons in the following folder:

[LabVIEW 20xx]\resource\Framework\Providers\Icons

The following are examples for the different controls:
