Run-Time Menu...

[shimonshami]

Hi Guys,

I'm using LabView Version 7.1.

I'm Trying to use the Run Time Menu on it (I've configured it), but I can't understand why it's not working.

Can someone help me with it?

Waiting for your help,

The problem is that the "3" menu has no children. When you click on it LabVIEW gets a little "wonky" and just keeps beeping at that point if you try to access the menubar again. Technically, it's a bug, but then one should not have a main menu item with no children because then it would really be more of a button.

Side comment: What exactly are you doing in that code. You're converting a string to a number, and then converting it back to the original string. Why? Also, don't make greedy loops. Place the wait outside the case structure. You can reduce the wait time since 1/2 second is a bit long in terms of user interface response. Something like 100-200 msec should be more than adequate.

And, you need to actually rad the menu if you want to select again. This should be done in an event structure and not in a while loop. This applies to your front panel 'selector' control as well.

Hi guys,

The above llb file was a sample of a program that I work on my system.

I really don't understand how can I use the Run-Time Menu... On the Lab View version 7.1 (Presume it's the same as the other versions).

Can someone fix it so I understand how to use it in my program?

Thanks,

Shimon.

Continue,

The program meant to be a sample that changes the text output according to the Run Time Menu, and according to it changes the text output according to it.

Regards,

Shimon.

There are several examples that ship with LabVIEW that show you how to use menus. Your best bet is to start there. Open the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples) and search for "menu".
