In addition to the .pptx file, the demo files (including the demo script) are also included in case anyone wants to present it for their local user group.

Is there any way to modify existing item tags?

 

For Example, I want to disable the 'Description & Tip' option in Development Environment. But when I change its property to disable it throws an error 1164 which represents 'Cannot modify an application menu item'

I think the key word here is "application".

 

You can change menu info (tag it, disable it, shortcuts), and in fact changing the info after creating the item is the only way to do it.

 

However, you can't do that for application menu items.

You should be able to delete the item and replace it with your own menu item.

 

But you'd also need to handle the selection of the item, because LabVIEW won't.

Okay.

 

Thanks for the quick feedback.
