handle runtime menu in subvi event

[richjoh]

I am passing the runtime menu reference to a subvi event structure for processing the top-level runtime menu in the event case. I already have a registered case to handle any change in the top level vi control values. Since, I'm passing a runtime menu reference to the subvi, I initially thought I can handle the runtime menu in the subvi event. When I add an event, runtime menu is not a choice when setting the event up. The event setup does show "shortcut menu" as a selection but this must be for a context menu or the like.

Thx ahead of time,

Hi Richjoh,

what you should do is pass the VI-refnum into the sub-vi, and register there for menu events! A menu reference, does not cover a FP-object so LV has no events for it.

TonP Thanks,

I can't seem to remember the class hierarchy when I need to register events. I pass the VI reference and I'm able to handle the runtime menu from the subvi.

Thx.
