Hi Anil,

After I downloaded and unzipped your file, I was able to run it without a problem.  It begins running with the "file" menu, and when I press the "Change 2" button, the menu changes to "affiche".  Is this the behavior you are talking about or have I misunderstood the question?

Thanks!

Hi Megan

I also got the same behaviour, but when we press "change 1" button again.....it will not change the menu. i am able to change the menu only once.

My requirement is top change the language of all captions and run-time menu with a click of single button. i did it for captions of all controls.......now the problem is with RunTime Menu only.i am unable to switch to another menu once i change it...........

Thanks

Hi Anil,

I'm guessing you're using 7.1?  When I first ran your program in 8.0, it worked perfectly and switched back and forth perfectly.  However, I tried it in 7.1 and saw some bad behavior.  The customer run time menu was not updated in the menu bar.  It looks to me like the run time menu is changing, but the front panel is not updating.  After pressing one of your front panel buttons to change the run-time menu back and forth, if you click on the file menu it should update, although this can lead to some funny looking menus since "affiche" is longer than "file" and you can still see the remnants of the old menu.  Try this and let me know if this is indeed the behavior you are seeing (check out the attached pic).  I thinkt hat R&D already had a report on this, and that is why it is fixed in 8.0.

Hi megan

Thanks for your reply....i too found the same behaviour in run-time menu. it is showing part of old menu.

I am using LabVIEW 7.1. This problem is not coming in 8.0 version. But in 7.1 also i could solve it in someway. but problem is if the window is small it flickers once during this change of RTM. If the window is maximized, this flickering is not visible. here i am attsching the logic i used to solve this problem.

I used property nodes to hide the menu and show it. so that it gets refreshed and takes the latest menu.

Thanks
