LabVIEW
Getting Tree Item from Tree Entry
The Double Click method returns the unique Tag name of the item from the Tree. No two tag names can be alike in one Tree, therefore LabVIEW automatically renames the tag name of items with equal item names. You can edit the tag names of your items by right-clicking the Tree control and selecting "Edit Items...".
To get the item name of the selected item, use a Property Node and choose "Active Cell Properties >> String".

Hi there,
I was too fast on the trigger last time I responded to your email. After further investigation, there doesn't seem to be a way to access the visible text of an item in the case that it is not equal to the tag name of that item.
Your interest in a feature to programmatically access the visible item names seems very valid. I advice you to report us the product suggestion through the "Feedback" link found here:

Hey John,
You don't need a service contract to pass us your product suggestions. All you need to create is a Profile that tells us your name and so on. You have the option of specifying products of interest, but it is not required.
The reason that we prefer the feedback to come directly from our customers, is to get a better reasoning for the request and to track what type of customers that request certain features. This will eventually give us a better idea of how and by whom the feature will be used.
"Power To The Users!"
I can still report the product suggestion for you - I just wanted to let you know why we use the current implementation.
