Array Shortcut Menu Dismissed Event

[AntoineH_]

Hello,
I have an issue with the "Shortcut Menu Dismissed Event" when I try to use this on an array element. This event appears only if the shortcut menu was previously activated from the egdes of the array (or from the Index Display). If I active the shortcut menu with the mouse over an element of the array, then the "Dismissed Event" will not appear.
Is there a way to solve this and make the event to trigger ?
I attached a vi to explain the issue.

Hmmm... seems to work for me.

Replicated in 2020 SP1. Seems like a bug to me. As far as how to get the event to trigger, my only suggestion would be to use a cluster with numeric elements instead of a 1D array. Then, you can add Menu Dismissed events for each element of the cluster and the events will trigger, see the revised VI. The typical size of your array might prohibit that option though...

How did you replicate the issue?  Whenever I right-clicked on an array element, the event seemed to trigger.  Did I do it wrong?  (LV 2020.)

Right click on the array itself and you'll get two events, one when you activate the RCM, and one when you dismiss the RCM. Only the first event triggers when right clicking an element.

Here's a workaround that uses dynamic registration to capture events on the array elements instead of the array,

Nothing to add here but an interesting observation that bit me in the past. You probably already know, but just in case.

A rick-click Short-cut Menu Event also triggers a "Mouse Leave" Event for the Pane. I had a transparent control that I hid or showed depending on whether one was in the Pane or Outside the Pane. Right-clicking made it look like someone left the pane when they didn't.
