menubar is there a way to disable the top level menu

[jbrohan]

I want to prevent a user from clicking a menu until the previous function is complete. The Enable Menu Tracking works but with a Beep rather than a visual clue. I can disable individual menu items but if the whole menubar went gray it would be a clearer signal.

Yours Sincerely
John

Use an event structure triggered by the menu (EVENT-> This VI: Menu activation?, Menu selection, etc.) and make sure that "Lock front panel until event ... completes" is checked. While the menu won't be grayed, it will not be possible to operate the menus until the event has completed. Should be clue enough 😉

Thanks for your help. On examination it got messier. I still want the Quit function to work.
