Good Afternoon Tsotm,

In order to allow me to help you, I would like to clarify what you are asking. As I understand it, you want code which, when you right click an element in a tree menu, will highlight that element and open a menu.

If that is correct, then is it a custom menu which you wish to open?

Hello,Alastair C

It’s correct.  The custom menu is the tree control shortcut menu which I created.

Advance -- > Run time shortcut menu -- > Edit

Thanks you for your help.

Its called a custom Runtime Menu for a reason.  It only works at runtime (not in edit mode)  doe you have an runtime menu activation event in the vi that contains the control to handle the menu actvation event?

I create a Tree: shortcut menu selected in the event structure. When I right click an element in a tree, it shows the shortcut menu. But I also want to highlight the item which right clicks selected.

thanks
