Description

Description:
Sets picture to item selected by path. IDC means id of parent Tree View. Name is picture name. The picture is searched in the mission directory.
  • Adding pictures to lists is very slow. In order to prevent the filling of the list to be slowed down, add the pictures in a scheduled environment - See Example 3.

One drawback of this method is that sorting the entries is not easily possible.

  • If not all items have a picture but you still want them to be aligned at the front, use a Procedural Texture that is transparent #(rgb,32,32,3)color(1,1,1,0).
Groups:
