Building a TreeView control without ActiveX

It's interesting, how to build TreeView control in LabVIEW without using of ActiveX technology? For example, LabVIEW Menu Editor (see attachment) has such control. This control seems to be developed in LabVIEW. Are anyone know, how to program such control? I have only idea to use multicolumn ListBox with hidden grid lines. But I can not insert picture (or color text) in it. The developers of LabVIEW can do it (see attachment)!

Ah yes, another LabVIEW "Holy Grail".

I think you may be making a huge assumption that this wizard was created in LabVIEW. NI doesn't always use LabVIEW for these things.

To see an example of what I believe is the best you can do with LabVIEW's standard tools to create a "tree view" check out the File Manager, located in the "Tools" menu under "VI Library Manager". This is a shining example of the best that most people can do using a List Control and the available symbols.

Don't get me wrong, LabVIEW is capable of creating a true list view; however; you don't have the patience to write the code, as I would never try that.

Perhaps someone will (or already has) created one, and has made this available. If you find one, let us all know, because we a
re all seeking this Holy Grail too...

PS: If I had to make a bet, I would guess that this wizard was either created using Visual C++, or perhaps even Visual Basic. Just don't tell anyone at NI I said the VB word...
