Description
Overview: This VI demonstrates one way to programmatically perform different actions to a
single cell in a table control or indicator.
Description:
This example uses a custom right-click menu to refresh individual table cells with a random number. An event determines whether the user right-clicked on the table and will display a custom shortcut menu. Depending on the selection, the event structure will either refresh the cell with a random double or clear the contents.
This VI was made using these references:
LabVIEW Help: Customizing Run-Time Shortcut Menus for Controls Programmatically
LabVIEW Help: Handling Run-Time Shortcut Menu Selections
Requirements: LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible).
Steps to Implement or Execute Code:
1. Run the VI.
2. Right click on a cell.
2. Refresh Cell will generate a random value.
3. Clear Cell will clear the value of the cell.
