Hello Eric,
I recommend that you look at the examples in the Example Program Database. Here is a link: http://www.ni.com/support/epd/. I tried two different searches and got great examples for each. The first was using: +rtm, in the search field. This method found 3 examples, that range in complexity from intermediate to advanced. I also searched by: +run +menu, this found many more examples (around 55 I believe). Please look carefully at the examples, as some are written for non-LabVIEW applications (like TestStand).
Take Care,
