CVI 5.5 Ring control won't stay open

[Kirk]

Hi,

I just converted a program that controls an automated test station from CVI
5.0 to CVI 5.5.
A problem came up that I'm not sure how to solve.

The code displays a text message and makes it flash on and off by using a
timer
that alternately calls the following:

SetCtrlAttribute(panBTMain, PAN_BTMAIN_TXT_ENTER_TEST_INFO, ATTR_VISIBLE,
1 );


SetCtrlAttribute(panBTMain, PAN_BTMAIN_TXT_ENTER_TEST_INFO, ATTR_VISIBLE,
0 );


There is a ring control on the panel. When you click it to make the choices
drop down,
the ring control "automatically" clears itself and pops back up before the
operator can
make the selection in the ring control.

This didn't happen in CVI 5.0

Any ideas on how to get around this?

Thanks,
Kirk

I have the same problem. Check out the responses to Kevin Holsinger, 2/9/01, "Menu Ring Control 'reset'..." I have found that you can still select items on the menu by using the arrow keys. Hope this helps.
