Menus

[Robert R]

Hi

I have a problem with menus (LV6.0).
The VI functions correct,but when i compile it (with "built an
aplication") then this menu will be not display.
How can I solve this problem? Upgrade LV to 6.0.2 can help ?

Hi Robert,
when you build the application (before pressing "Build" button) check "VI settings" for that particular one in "Menu Bar" column. If it's disabled, use "Edit Build Settings" to change it.

Hope this helps.

p.s.: The upgrade to 6.0.2 it's a good idea in order to avoid encountering some known 6.0 problems

I had checked all settings in "Edit Build Settings" of my "Menu Bar",
but it doesn't helped.

If it's not too complicated send me that VI at labviewer@yahoo.com (to check its behavior on my machine)

Make sure the custom run time menu file is included and in the same directory. It has an extension of .rtm and should be in the directory you are developing in.

Control" ?

If you haven't created a custom menu, then you should check the properties of the top-level VI - Window Appearance and make sure that Show Menu Bar is selected. To check to see if you are using a custom menu, open the top-level VI and under Edit, select Run-Time Menu. If it says Custom, then the .rtm file must have been created at some time and you have to include it in the build.

Yes, I have selected it.

When I open Run-Time Menu of my top-level VI, I see just "default".
When I nevertheless create a .rtm and run VI then:" Failure:
"listmenu.cpp",line 1044"
So it goes without Run-Time Menu .(?)
It surprise me, that the VI works correctly, and after creating .exe -
not... The vi-settings by creat
ing an .exe are the same like a VI !

Thanks all for help, and especially for 'Lab Viewer' that solve my
problem. (I have wired my headers with item_names instead of item tags
in "insert menu items" )
