menu reference

[jyang72211]

In my subvi, I am trying to get the main vi's menu's reference, so that I can modify the main vi's menu with vi such as Set Menu Item Info.  How do I get the reference in a subvi?  Is there a property I can use?

Some quick searching around leads me to believe that this isn't available.  You can get the path to the main VI's menu, but not a reference to the menu itself.  If knowing the path to the .rtm file doesn't help, can you put the main VI's menu reference into a global (ahem) that you can read from the sub VI?

Any reason not to simply pass the menu reference from the main VI to the subVI?

Darin - No reason.  I had no idea what I was thinking.  Thanks for pointing that out.
