context menu for customized selfwritten VI

[Aleph.ka]

Hallo!

Maybe someone knows and has time to share: is it possible to create a customized popup/context menu for a customized - self written VI (vide .jpg)? And as working with LV 2011 I have realised it's impossible to create a polymorphic VI out of other polymorphic vi-s right?  If anybody knew any walk through, I will be thankfull 🙂

Dear Aleph,

information about creating run time context menus can be found here: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3171/en/

Another soultion, is to create your own VI that will po up when a user uses his RMB on a specific object. This can be achieved by properly using the Event Structure. Let me know if you need more information.

What do you mean by creating a polymorphic VI from a polymorphic VI?

Best regards,

Hallo,

thanks but I do not mean a run time menu, I just need a right click context sensitive menu while clicking on a my subVi#s icon placed at block diagram. Hope the pic will help.

Aleph,

I'm sorry but I don't think this is possible.

Why would you want to do that?

Well, it would be pretty comfortable, wouldn't it? Especially for a polymorphic VIs...  Thanks anyway! (or with a possibility to put polymorphic Vis into another polymorphic vi 😉 especially for my boss 😉
