Add labels to Picture Item menu when customizing a boolean control

[Lavezza]

When customizing a boolean control, there are 6 pictures you can set. On, Off, On to Off transition, Off to On transition, Off Hover and On Hover. But setting those pictures can be a pain since they aren't labeled. Here is a screen shot of a page from the UI Interest group. Adding those labels to the menu would be very helpful when creating custom buttons.

Sometimes it's the simple things that make a difference ... Kudos.

Ha! I just asked our local NI Rep the exact same question for the same reasons and here is their reply (which has some extra detail). I think this should also be done for the four state classic boolean as well. The 6 options are infact: (from left to right, top to bottom) 1. OFF 2. ON 3. ON to OFF (mechanical action selected must be either "switch/latch when released") 4. OFF to ON (mechanical action selected must be either "switch/latch when released") 5. OFF hover 6. ON hover To see the two transition pictures*° of the control, the mechanical action must be either "switched when released" or "latch when released", otherwise you won't see them. If you don't want to customize these transitions pictures, just use the same highlighted pictures as follows: off to on * = off highlighted * on to off ° = on highlighted °

Simple idea, but quite useful. Kudos!

This Idea Exchange post has been "new" for more than a decade now... at LEAST add it to the LabVIEW help documentation, it's kind of mind-boggling that this has been this way for this long without even having a help doc page.

It baffles me that I need to come back to this idea everytime I customize a boolean control just to look up the image order.

Almost 2025 and I find myself referencing this post again...
