Multi-Icon for Objects on OM and Icon placement on menus
-
Where should I look for Icon change of an Object in the Object manager depending it's functional mode ?
Is this also applicable for a Field Object ? (I think I have seen this only for generator objects)Also related... Where should I look for placing Icons on drop-down Menus ? (Like MoGraph has)

Hey @Dimitris_Derm.,
- The example py_msc_licensing shows you how to change the icon of a node at runtime. The example uses this to change the icon of unlicensed nodes and the trick is to listen for the message MSG_GETCUSTOMICON.
- The example py_obj_assetcontainer shows you how to place icons in cycles (Cinema slang for drop downs). The trick is to set the label of the cycle item to
"{Label}&i{IconID}&", e.g.,"Cube&i5159&"would display the cube icon next to the word "Cube", because 5159 is the cube object icon id. You can do this both in resource files and dynamically as the example does it.
Cheers,
Ferdinand
