Suggestion: View Menu Callbacks

[Guillaume Dargaud]

Hello all,
here's a suggestion for the user interface editor: an option in the the
[Code][View] menu in addition to [Panel callback] and [Control callback], if
the panel has an attached menu bar, to have a [Menu callbacks] with give you
the list of callbacks and takes you wherever you want to go in the source
code.

....I'm always searching for my menu callbacks...

Even better, right-click on a menu item and popup a menu with "View menu callback" option the same way theat we have the "View control menu" option on buttons and so on.

I seem to remember that I file such a suggestion a few years ago (or I simply discussed it with a NI technician on some NIWeek? Don't know)

Solving problems years before I report them, how nice... C;-)
I'd never noticed this option !

It would be nice, unfortunately as of CVI8.5 it's still not present.

(I didn't have time to install release 9 till now...)

Hi Roberto,

We did implement your suggestion, in version 8.5. If you operate a panel's menubar in the  UI Editor, in edit mode, you can right-click on any menu item and, if that menu item has a callback defined, you can either generate the callback or navigate to the callback.

(Inexplicably it says "View control callback" instead of "View menu callback", which seems bizarre to me now. I need to find out why that is. But in any case, it does the right thing).

Uh oh... busted!

Seems I haven't tried it... maybe I should read more carefully the release notes 

Anyway, kudos to you an NI for this!

Actually... it wouldn't have been in the release notes. Sorry :-). Before 9.0 we were only including major features in the release notes. And unfortuately, the production suggestion mechanism doesn't seem to be set up to send you a notification when the status of your suggestion changes. So you really had no way of knowing unless you happened to go look for it.
