Question about Run-Time Shortcut Menus example

[SteveChandler]

I am looking at the Run-Time Shortcut Menus.vi that ships with LabVIEW2011. There is an event case "Test List":Mouse Down that does nothing but generate a Val(Sgnl) event for the "Test List" control if the right mouse button was pressed. There is no value change event for that control.

Is there an obscure reason to do that? One thing I have learned about many of the examples is not to strictly use them as examples.

[SteveChandler · Accepted solution]

Nevermind - I found the obscure reason. Even though there is not a value change event, generating the value change event is required to change the value on right-click.

At least NI could have documented this in the example
