Listbox Symbol Ring Constant has swapped system checkbox (greyed)

[Jim Kring]

The symbols for items 39 and 40 are swapped in the Listbox Symbol Ring Constant. Please see the attached example VI and annotated screen-capture.

This has been reported to NI in the latest beta program, so hopefully it will be fixed, shortly.

interestingly enough I found this bug a few days ago as well, and also reported it to NI.

Would it be wise for NI to change this? These symbols have been in this order since they were introduced in LV8.0. If they changed it, it would break all code that used these symbols and worse yet it you would only know it if you read the release notes and remembered that your code used these symbols ... no broken arrow. The only viable solution would be to add to more symbols in the correct order and that would certainly cause some confusion.

I'm not complaining about the order of the symbols. I'm saying that there is a discrepency between the order of the symbols used by the Listbox, Muli-column Listbox, and Tree Control and the order of the symbols in the Listbox Symbol Ring Constant -- this means that if you wire an "unchecked+greyed" constant, your Listbox will display a "checked+greyed" symbol (and vice versa).

Also, these last four symbols are new "system checkbox" symbols that were added in LabVIEW 8.0, i believe.
