Image turns into a "d"

[Sima]

Hello,

Sometimes, LV decides to turn the images on my custom controls into blank white squares and a pixelated-looking letter "d" - see below. I have also seen this happen to images I have placed onto the front panel (e.g. logos). I have ALSO seen this happen to the status image of error clusters, so it's not just things that I have custom made.

I haven't found a way to restore the images once this has happened, besides reverting to a backup of the VI and working through my code again Or, in the case of the error cluster, deleting it, and recreating it. Does anyone know why this happens, and how to stop it?

Thanks.

The 'd' is part of a numerical representation (it's the default 'b' stands for binaray an 'h' for hex)

I have read about it before (on this forum), but don't know the solution. Maybe I can found one...

Some starters:
are the controls resized in some way?
Were they Strictly type-def'd?

Hi Ton,

No, the controls weren't resized or strictly type def-ed. And again, it has happened to simple images placed on the front panel as well as the built-in LV error clusters. I can go to each one and do a replace on the control to get the image back, otherwise I revert to a backup of my code.

Thanks.
