Icons

Custom icons can be used for the nodes in a tree control to enhance the visual experience:

Example tree control with icons

A global icon set can be found in C:\Skyline DataMiner\Protocols\Icons.xml. All protocols can link to icons from this file.

By default, the icon in the tree items will be chosen according to this priority:

  1. The <Icon>...</Icon> defined on the table parameter.
  2. The <Icon ref="..."> defined on the table parameter (referencing an icon in C:\Skyline DataMiner\Protocols\Icons.xml).
  3. A default icon if no <Icon> is defined on the table parameter.

By specifying a column in OverrideIconColumns (under the TreeControl tag), you can apply a custom icon based on a cell value in that row. The column must be a parameter of type “discreet” and all discrete values must have an iconRef attribute referring to an icon. If the iconRef attribute is empty or invalid, or the value is “Not Initialized”, a default icon will be displayed.

<Discreets>
  <Discreet iconRef="audio">
    <Value>0</Value>
    <Display>Off</Display>
  </Discreet>
  <Discreet iconRef="video">
    <Value>1</Value>
    <Display>Right</Display>
  </Discreet>
</Discreets>

Now, in the tree control, we need to define the parameter ID of the column containing the iconRef.

<TreeControls>
  <TreeControl parameterId="5000" readOnly="true">
     ...
    <OverrideIconColumns>1002</OverrideIconColumns>
