Hello everyone
For some reason, as of late, I cannot access an indicator/control/boolean/clusters/arrays by right clicking on them and opening up the properties menu (i am using Labview 2009 SP1). When I do right click any of these the menu appears then I would select 'properties' which the mouse pointer would indicate busy for a moment, but I would not get the propertie menu. The 'property' selection was working once before.

As a quick check, rename your LabVIEW.ini to LabVIEW.old.
Then relaunch LV.
LV stores to location of floating windows and if you changed screen sizes ... whatever... renaming the ini will rule that out as a possibility.

Try Ctl+m.
You cannot access FP obj properties in "run" mode you need to be in Edit mode.
However you said the right-click menu shows "Properties" and you CAN select it? did the file become read-only or locked by any other means?

Do you have that problem with any vi or with just one vi? Is it with any indicator or just one indicator? What about on controls?

I've tried older projects and have had the same problem. It seems that no matter what type of control( or indicator), be it a cluster, boolean, string, array, the properties option does not work.

Sounds like something got moved.
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\resource\PropertyPages\ is the folder that I believe contains the internal things that are needed for LabVIEW to display properties.
It may be that you moved something by accident or you changed a vi unwittingly. You may need to re-install LabVIEW to get past this.

Yeah, I'm thinking I must have unwittingly done something to cause this, but not sure what. I'll do the re-install, which is problably my best option.
Thank you, appreciate the help!
