MenuRef only appears in a menu activation event, need it to show in a menu selection user event

[Tim_C.]

I reviewed the run-time menu example and the menu selections with events example and they both have the MenuRef Event parameter

in menu activation and menu selection events.

I cannot get teh menuref to show up in any event other than the menu activation event

Goal:

have a runtime menu pop-up

once the user selects a menu item the selected menu item is to be renamed with a checkmark in front of the name

another problem with this scenerio is that I cannot get the checkmark symbol to show up in the menu item array, I don't believe

a checkmark has an ascii value, and the menu name array seems to only accept ascii values.

Any help on this would be appreciated

Thanks

Greetings!

You cannot add a check box with a list box as the listbox only takes in text. Is there a specific reason you are trying to do this. I would recommend using a table instead of a list control for a run time menu control. You can modify the tables. I looked up a few resources and found the following link that will be very useful for you and you could use the VI.
