Setting the Symbol Index on a Tree Control

[kdmcmullan]

Im trying to set the Symbol Index on a node of a Tree control. Each time I do so LabVIEW returns error 1135. As far as I can see, my code is identical to that given in the example given here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/89A75D98771F2FB686256F350055EB3A.

I don't even want anything fancy like custom symbols: just the stock ones will do.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi,

Are you setting the 'active item' before trying to do this? There is another forum where a user has the same error which is explained by not having the active item set before trying to access properties of a tree item. - the selected (highlighted) item is not necessarily the active item, this has to be set manually.

Take a look at the suggestions here and see if this solves the problem. If not then can you post your code so I can see whether there is something missing.

Hope this helps
