shortcut menu won't work in executable

[oyester]

I attached a shortcut menu to a listbox and ran the program. It worked file. Then I created an executable. The shortcut menu would not pop up any more. What am I doing wrong?

Attach your code so we can see.  If you are using the current VI path funciton, make sure that you strip the path twice if you are using an exe

The problem with this example code is that, when I make an executable out of it, it still works. In my actual program, which is 1760Kb big, the popup menu does not pop up in the executable version. I was hoping that someone else had seen this problem and figured out how to solve it. I can't even think of something to try.

hi there

i don't have LV around here, but have you tried to add the shortcut menu to the support files of your project?

i'm not sure about 8.x, but in version 7.1 and prior if you changed the extension from the executable to "llb" you were able to open the llb in explorer, then you could see all files contained, also the dynamic ones. try this out to make sure that the menu is part of the executable.

I created the menu dynamically using the "Shortcut Menu Activation?" event. Everything works fine now and it wasn't that much work to code. Thanks for the help.
