I am using the "Menu Selection With Events.vi" example alongside other while loops, When I select exit from the new menu it stops the other while loops but not the menu/event while loop

CB · ‎05-05-2004

The event driven menu example works fine and I've integrated it into my application. I have built in simple local vars to link menu selections to existing GUI buttons. The problem is that I cannot get the File-Exit menu option to switch off/terminate the application. The [1] "Stop": Value Change panel of the event structure simply switches off the other while loops but leaves the event while loop running. Add a while loop to the axample using a local var from the event while loop to terminate 2nd while loop to get the effect.
Help appreciated, Chris

Post your code so that I can see what is going on and I should be able to help you.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for the offer. The menu code should be capable of terminating the entire application when the user selects File - My Exit. I did a bit of extra work and found a possible solution, please have a look, is it ok? Suggestions appreciated.

If your menu tag "Exit" case, assign "True" to your "Stop" variable.

Attached you will find a modified version of your VI.
I documented what I did on the block diagram.You were right on you just needed to add a variable with a true wired to it.

Have fun with it.
