Unicode Support also for writing text to a Picture

Status: Declined

As Labview now supports Unicode for some controls, it would be great to also extend it to the picture control.

I would like to write some unicode to a picture, as the image shows, but at the moment only ascii-chars are shown.

When did Unicode get supported in LabVIEW?  As far as I am aware, that has not been released yet.  And if it has, then this idea needs to be marked as complete: Support Unicode

Christian_L writes on LabVIEW Unicode Programming Tools :

"LabVIEW for Windows has limited support for Unicode strings in the front panel controls and indicators. This is not an offically supported feature, meaning that it is not as fully tested as other released parts of the development and run-time environment."

 

So it is correct, that unicode is not yet fully official support, but after testing I find that it works for most of my needs. However, I would like to also be able to write text in a picture, which not yet work, thereof this post.
