Hi sageliuliu,

When you put your code in a subVI, Current VI's Menubar no longer returns a reference to the main VI menu.  Instead, it returns a reference to the subVI menu!  You need to leave Current VI's Menubar in your main VI and pass the reference as an input to the subVI.

I'm still running LV2015 so can't open your VIs.  No matter, here's a little example that shows how it's done.  Run Submenu example 1.vi.  In this, the menu reference is obtained and passed to Submenu example 2.vi.  All the menu setup is done there.

I've also included an event structure to catch the user menu selections.  All it does is check whether the menu tag contains the string "Sub" and, if so, toggle the checkmark.

Hope this is useful.
