Here's a workaround:

We created some icons, saved them as <same-as-WuG-icon-name>.emf and overwrote the 
original ones. Works well. Another hint: have a look at the hosttype.ini, located in 
the whatsup directory. It contains all informations about device icons, their overlays 
and their grouping in the edit window.

Here's an example


[Cisco WS-C3750G-24TS-E]
BMPNAME=.\icons\switch.emf
SCOUNT=0
NumberOfEvents=0
TYPE=0
DeviceCategory=Cisco
OVERLAYTEXT=3750G
ProtectFromDelete=true
WCOUNT=0
MCOUNT=0

Our icons are located in the subfolder "icons" and we created a device category 
"cisco" in the gallery.ini


[Gallery003]
title=Cisco Devices
hidden=FALSE
items=Cisco

Every cisco device got an overlay text as quick info about the hardware. We did this 
for servers (hp, ibm, fsc ...) as well.

I'm pretty sure that you cannot create new drilldown type icons. You can modify the 
existing "container" or subnet ones to suit your needs though. ...Unless I'm wrong....

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] New Container Device Type





I'm trying to create a new device type with the same properties (will load another 
map) as the Subnet or Container types but using a different icon. I don't have any 
problems with creating the icon.  I've tried making copies of both the container and 
subnet devices but my new copy doesn't give me the 'map name' field.  I don't see 
anything to differentiate a 'container' device from a 'host' device from the menu 
Configure->Device Types->New dialog properties.

Thank  you,
