Hello ritesh024... 🙂

Are you talking about checkbox dialog or something else...?

You need the 'Shortcut menu activation?' with the following code:

Hi Ton,

I have already set the item names in the menu. I am not adding them during the execution of the program.

However, when i tried placing a checkmark at one of the Tags, i got an error stating "LabVIEW : cannot find one or more tags".

Could you pls explain how can i  resolve this issue ?

thanks,

Ritesh

Could you upload your VI?

Hey Ton,

I just figured out that i was passing an empty string to the item Tag. Thats why i was getting that error.

Sorry for my carelessness..

Thanks,

Ritesh

So how do you determine which item was selected in the activation event frame?

Hi Doug,

you can use the objectTag and objectPath string to determine the selected item.
