How can I create my own refernce type?

[Nitrof]

I would like to create my own reference type. Like it has been done in the Configuration File VIs, provided by NI in the default LabVIEW Utility Config.llb.

The reference for the refnum is based on a Enum type. I would like to create something similar and have my own picture that represent my custom reference. However I am not able to create the Enum containing a picture instead of a text string.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Maybe it is something reserved to NI programmer...

Thanks,

Nitrof

The GOOP documentation probably explains how to do this, and I believe
they have tools to help you out. It is a datalog refnum containing an
enum with your object's name -- to make it unique -- and possibly a
decoration in there too covering the enum. I don't remember the details
with the picture. You might need to take the enum into the control
editor via Customize and paste the picture there. Then close, saving
and put that enum into the datalog refnum.
