Loading a different RT Menu using VI server

[AstroMed_Glen]

Hello,

        Using LV 7.1 can I select what Run-Time menu I would like to run a VI with. For example I would like to have two RTM files. Depending on the situation I would like to lauch the VI with either one or the other Menu. If this is not directly possible before running the VI, is it perhaps possible to send a flag and then do once the VI is running.

I don't know if you can change the menu in the way you want, but you can create the menu on your own.

Search the examples library for the keyword menus. Then you should find Dynamic Insert Demo.vi. This vi shows you how you can create a menu on your own.

You can react on menu selections the same way as you do with the menus created by rtm-files, which means that the event-structure can handle that to.

Hope this helps.

The Run-Time Menu Path property may be of use to you.

Thank you for both your responses. I think the path property is exactly what I am looking for!!

Ah - never saw this property, although I often use VI properties.

You can keep your eyes open, but often enough you lose sight of something.
