Multiple Glyphs Columns

[mcduff]

Bump.

Sorry to keep asking, but does anybody know the answer to the following?

"Excuse my stupidity, but I put that "EnableSecretPopups=True" in my INI, but still cannot find the option to enable multiple symbols in a MCLB. Not sure if I am looking in the wrong spot or if I need another INI key."

Thanks

I just tested on a fresh 2019 machine and I also needed SuperSecretListboxStuff=True in my INI.

Add SuperSecretListboxStuff=True to your labview.ini , reload LabVIEW new menu items will show up when you right click on MLC control.

Thanks, great thread!

Does anyone know how I might be able to get ahold of, or export all of these cool symbols as BMP files?
It looks like all of the extended symbols in the special MCL are stored as "built-in symbols" for the MCL.  As such, I can't seem to export them using the method:
Custom Item Symbols:Get Symbol.  (This method returns an empty data array.)

You know that these glyphs are in the C:\users\<username>\Labview Data\Glyphs folder as .png files, right?

Ahh, I did not realize that they were located there.  Thanks!

Here's the corrected version that behaves correctly, delete symbols if you decrease rows/colums between two run and actually displays the right symbol front of the corresponding number.

Hi David Koch,

 thanks for your reply, I have a question that how to make the glyphs to place center in cells?

David has posted to LAVA 1 time, and it was 10 years ago. I don't think he's going to respond.  You cannot control the position of the glyph with the built in function.  The only solution I know of is a pretty time consuming one, where you put a transparent picture control on top of the tree, and then you can do whatever you want.  I've applied this to a sequence editor.  The left and right are tree controls (as noticed by the collapsing icon). The tree on the right has two centered columns.  This has two picture controls that position themselves to look like it is part of the tree.  There's a decent amount of work on the back end to handle things like window resizing, collapsing the tree, and other random behaviors. But the end result is something I have full control of.

Also in a related topic here is an idea exchange to support larger glyphs.  There is a linked example on how to fake it in a fairly convincing way.
