I have created a run time shortcut menu using cut as application item.

But i want to select cut menu option by button value change event. Is it possible?

Hi 30904407,

You might want to take a look at this tread.

Hope it solves your problem,

I saw that thread. In that they have duplicated the action for button and menu selection. I cant duplicate the action because I am using cut as application item. this option runs using the cut function from the LabView main menu itself. So its difficult for me to duplicate it.

Hi,

Aren't you using some kind of a state engine.

if you are, then it's fairly easy to queue the state you want to execute from 2 different events.

1) event from menu => queue to "do action"

2) event from button => queue to "do action"

This is what state-engines can be used for.  If you don't know how to use them, please ask.

I guess you just wanted to swap the order of the title?

I have used cut as application item in run time menu.. So I have not created any case structure for that in menu selection. Can state engines be used for this.. If yes, please explain me how to do it..
