LV 7 Tree Control--Create Method doesn't work

[m3nth]

Just wondering if I broke something already or if this is a minor bug... when I try to create a method for a Tree Control I can only create the first five on the menu (non-control-specific) or the Double Click Method. These are all listed directly without sub-items while all other methods in submenus do not create a method when they are selected. Selecting them makes the menu disappear but nothing happens and there is not a method to place as is usually the case. The method can be created using a workaround--using one of the selectable methods (Double Click for example), then using the finger pointer to select a different method, but not by right clicking on a reference to the tree and trying to create method.

Att
ached is a screenshot--all items on the lowest level menu with an arrow to the right do not work.

Congratulations. Looks like you found a bug... Probibly related to the submenus--don't remember methods having submenus before V7. In any case, you can also get at those methods if you drop down an invoke node from a palette and wire up the reference. Mike...

Ahhh... yes... I could not figure out why the in the world methods were not available as a drag-on icon from the menus somewhere but they are--as you stated--from an invoke node. I apparently glanced over that and thought it was the call by reference function when looking for something of that nature. Thanks for the tip.

On my machine (NTSP6a, LV PDS) the lowest sub menus work.

Hmmm... fair enough. I'm running Win2k.

I have cross checked this in the office with our PXI-System running Win2k and a PC running XP Prof.

Sorry it works. I have no idea why it will not work on your machine.

Well I wonder what in the world I hosed!? I'm sure after I change enough options to lose track, it will suddenly start working--that seems to be the way of things for me. For now though, it is definitely a repeatable problem for me that isn't fixed by restarting LabVIEW. Maybe I will see if a re-install fixes it sometime when I have enough free time. I also didn't notice until now that the Application Control Palette is available when right-clicking a control reference... that at least makes it a lot easier than before to not use the 'create' menu option.
