How to make some items in toolbar inactive

[thieny1]

While my program is running, I need to de-activate (dimmed) some of the items(icon) in the toolbar, Is there a function in Labwindow CVI to do this?

Thanks

I am assuming you are using the toolbox\custctrl\toolbar.fp library to create the toolbar in your program. If so, you can call the Toolbar_DimItem function for this.

Hi Thieny1,

Mohan is correct, theToolbar_DimItem function is what you want.  This answer is available in the CVI help, both the online help and the help built into CVI.  On ni.com's home page, I searched for "toolbar dim CVI", and one of the first results was the online CVI help for the Toolbar_DimItem function.  The built-in help and online help can be great resources.  They also include links to related topics, which can be very helpful and reveal functionality that you did not even know was possible.
