Custom popup menu + graphic ring

[Markus Manninger]

Hi,

I have two questions.

1) Could anyone give me an example how to create my own popup menu by
clicking the right mouse button over an item.

2) Does anybody know how to disable the border an the background of a
graphic ring item. I what to display different transparent gifs and now
the border is very disturbing and there should also bo no visible
background(-color).

thanxs,
Max

1. An article on this was in LTR some time ago, check it out at:

There has been some discussions and examples of it here as well though, check out the last entry (I think there are others here too, just search for contextual menu or po-up menu):

2. Color the border and background transparent. Just choosing background color and foreground color to be transparent and then using the paint tool does not work though, instead - hold the paint too
l over the border, right click to get the color palette, move the cursor above the T (transparent) then press F...and then B, now the border should become transparent. Paint the background transparent...After doing everything transparent this way - import the pictures into it.

Hi Max

SciWare have just released a Beta version of the Popup Menu Toolkit for LabVIEW. It is very easy to implement and provides the look and feel that you would expect from a popup.

You can download an evaluation of the toolkit from our website.

This is a Beta release so feedback would be greatly appreciated.
