Thinking Global - customized controls???

[#1]

Ok, so we are living and working in a global environment.  I've been pondering this for some time but haven't found a way to easily integrate it into LabVIEW code.  Our products are moving towards using universal icons instead of using text for controls.  This makes it very easy to program in a global language so users can understand the icons rather than programming in various languages for different countries.

As such, I'd like to replace the text in controls with icons.  Is there an easy way to customize the buttons with logos or icons or something other than plain text?

The answer is most certainly - yes. You can customize buttons and use icons or pictures for the various states. Please take a look at this example here: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-4871

Although in the end this example uses text, it's in the form of a picture, which could really be anything. You can define a separate picture for each possible state of the button. Examples are: down, up, up-to-down, and down-to-up.

I've attached 2 screen shots to get you started.
