pull-down menus in labview?

[Andreas Christen]

Hi everyone!

Is there a possibility to implement some sort of pull-down menus in a
LabView program, for example to execute other VIs/SubVIs (or to open
special windows).

Thanks in advance!

Andreas

The first step is to go to Edit -> Edit Menu. Just make your menu
there, and then use the Application Control -> Menu VI's to read what
the user selects from the menu. Hook that up to a Case statement and
you can do all sorts of things. I think you want your main VI inside a
while loop so it continually polls the menu. The help file is pretty
complete on this issue, so just check that out.

Think what your looking for is a menu ring...

Have a look at this: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361F-01/lvconcepts/fp_controls_indicators/

and ask any questions you have after reading (if indeed a menu ring fits the bill of what your looking for...)

What is workspace?

Do you have a picture or an example so that people can see what you mean?

As already suggested, it sounds like a menu ring would work for you.

Or a combo box..

On top of this, customising controls allows you to make them look pretty much however you wish.

[thinnker]

no not like that.

like TAB control but it have page number/name at top.

one page always opened in TAB.

i want like that but page number/name at left/right side and pages should hide.

page should display only when cursor on page number/name

or click on the page number/name.

Can you draw some kind of picture to help explain?

Perhaps, if English isn't your first language, try posting in your native language.
