If you can't get ActiveX to work, you can always use Windows API.

That's not accurate.
It's more like this:
- All states looks different decor: 1 decor,
- True state has decor, False state has no decor: 1 decor,
- All states looks same decor: as many as you want.

Thanks. But there are many other components you can "Steal" from NI ctrls.
For example, the 3-D semi-circles from the Modern thermometer ctrl.
In addition to replace an existing component, you can add extra components to a ctrl as long as you can set the component to be slave of the housing/frame.

You can import boolean glyph as Decal to any button.
For other controls, you can add images as long as you can set it to "slave to frame". Only LabVIEW decorations (vector image) can resize without problem.
There is no way to change a 4 part items button to 6 part items button.
You can also configure the exe (or it's shortcut) to "Run this program as an administrator" on the file properties dialog window in the Windows Explorer.
One way to verify if the LabVIEW is run as admin is: the path ctrl doesn't works with drag & drop.
It's the "space" character problem.
Build your own search function:
1. Change your unicode string display mode to Hex to find out the "space" character in Hex
2. Use it to convert your string to an array using the spreadsheet to array function
3. Use search 1D array to find matching word
