run time menu in remote panel

[Neil.Pate]

Hi there,

any one know how to get the run-time menu to work when a panel is viewed remotely via the web server?

Hi there!

The run-time menus should work fine. Can you give me a little more information:

What happens when you try selecting one of these menus?
Are you able to see the remote front panel working as expected, and are you able to take control?
What version of LV are you using?

Regards

Hi,

the menus just dont appear in the browser window. I get an "operate" menu, but none of my pre-defined menus. Im running LV 7.0
Otherwise I can take control and click buttons etc, but the interface seems very un-responsive when opening other VIs.

cheers

Have you added any menus by going to Edit >> Run-time Menu? From here you can select the menus that you wish to display as well as creating your own.

Hello,

yes, I have edited the run time menus, and they work fine when the VI is run from within labview, or built into an application. The trouble comes when I view the panel remotely using the web server. None of the run-time menus are there.

Yeah, that's the same for me. I just get the option to run the vi from the Operate menu and thats it. Looks like this isn't supported unfortunately.

When you publish a VI, most of the menu operations are not supported and until you can control and run the VI (if it's not already running), the only menu item you will see is operate. Once the VI is running under your control, a custom menu item will appear but application items like File, Edit, Tools, etc. will not because those sort of operations are not allowed remotely and should not be. You are free to create user items with the same names and write your own menu handler in the code.
