RTM changes back when VI stops

[DeWalker]

Hi!

Is there a way that my Custom Run time menu  Doesnt change (back to default) after the VI stops?

Thanx

DeWalker,

i must admit that i don't get the point of the question.

I'll explain that:

As a user of an application, i would asume that when stopping the application (or call it "exit", "quit") that it would disappear after a certain time. It should not display any "inactive" window anymore.

That is something, LabVIEW does differently to e.g. C#. If the VI in an executable stops executing, the window stays open. And this is the point where RunTime Menus will return to the default one from LabVIEW.

So, you ask for something where i as a user would be quite surprised about something else: Why the hack is the window open at all? I wouln't care about the RTM much....

And if you are referring to the developement system: That is the way LabVIEW works. VIs which are not executed do not have a custom RTM. But it doesn't matter since you are working in the developement environment and therefore you should be a developer. So a changed RTM shouldn't be a problem. That's at least my opinion...

hope this helps,

Norbert

Norbert!!!

Thanks for the explanation.What i get is that i have to exit at the end of my application in order to avoid the RTM turn around??In my application i need to stop my test and export the graph image .When i do so the VI stops and RTM switches back.Thats kind of what i dont need.

Export to what? Why don't you have your program do the exporting? I would also think you could esaily have a button/menu item to stop the test where the VI is still running and another to exit the program.
