Hello all,
I have a question about getting control run-time shortcut menus to persist after adding new items. I am hopeful that I'm simply missing something simple here.
Known Information
I understand the use of the "Shortcut Menu Activation?" event (for the control of interest) which provides the relevant control's menu reference for use with the menu VIs. No problems there.
Problem
- I start with a control which has an .rtm file assigned as its run-time shortcut menu.
- I then generate new items dynamically using the event/menu mechanism noted above.
- The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to *preserve* those newly added items (ie. I have to re-create the new items everytime the menu is *activated*).
- What I observe is that, unless I add all the items every time the right-click event occurs (in the "Shortcut Menu Activation?" event case), it defaults back to the original .rtm menu state.
Question
Does anyone know how to either:
- get dynamically added menu items to "stick"
- perhaps dynamically create (new) and load an .rtm for a *control*
Thanks in advance for any thoughts. I'm working in LabVIEW 8.6 for this particular project.
