Is it possible to add 2 numeric controls to a runtime menu of a control programatically?

Hi There!

My aim is to, when i right click on lets say an indicator, i would like to pop up a menu with a minimum and maximum numeric control for the indicator, so that the min and max limits can be set in such a way!

I have looked at adding "text" values as menu items, but dont know how to do, if it can be done, for numeric controls?

Maybe i should just create a little window which i call when the user right-clicks on the component, and in this window i have a min and max value?

Please advise.

Thanks

Hi matrix,

there are several options:
- You can create an context menu which allows the user to change min or max value
- You can create a XControl where you implement the min/max setting ability.
- You can catch right-click events on your indicator to call a subvi handling the min/max settings (maybe you have to use some tranparent control over the indicator to catch mouseclicks).

The first 2 options apply to LV8+, the 3rd one can be used from LV6.1+ 🙂

Hello matrix,
I read a similar question in this thread

It uses a subVI to display the menu which is a listbox. You could add the numerics to this SubVI and react on a click at the menu item "Apply" or sth.
