create custom menu to include standard operate drop down

[lavalava]

When I create a custom list of menu drop-downs, is it possible to also include the standard "Operate" drop down to include the "stop" running command (Ctrl + .)?  The stop command is what I'm mostly interested in.

Thanks

Forgive me if I'm not understanding the question correctly, but couldn't you just have a stop button wired to a while loop surrounding your code?

 

Happy Pi day!

Why would you do this?  Ctrl+. does not work if the Abort button is not shown.  (And its not really a good idea to abort your vi)

But yes, you can edit the RTM and add a Stop to Operate.  An Event loop "Menu Activation" event could call the Abort vi primitive when Operate>>Stop is selected
