mouse over menu bar stops program execution

[Thijs]

Hello,

I am using a menu, and get the same problem as in this discussion board: Every time I move my mouse over a menu in my Labview (7.1) application, my program halts . I simply use the vi 'Get Menu selection' (Application control -> Menu -> Get Menu Selection) and get the same problem as discussed here. Even if I use an Event structure, I get the same problem.

After reading your solution, I'm afraid I still don't understand your practial solution to the problem. Could you clarify maybe with a small example VI (I am using Labview 7.1)

Many Thanks!

Thijs

You should repost your query on the LABVIEW forum; this thread was discussing a LABWINDOWS/CVI problem.

Thijs:

Are you just trying to obtain the current user selection from the front panel? Please let me know.

Hi,

I posted the question on the labview forom, and manged to solve the problem later on by using a small timeout value in an event loop.

Thanks!
