[datoudream]

1).Controls have shortcut  menu,but the 3d graph's shortcut menu cannt be able. why? how to make it able?

2).3D graph can be rotated free by dragging, and when it is not running,right click ,select default view, the graph go back to initial view. But when the VI run, the shortmenu is disabled, how to make it to defaul tview. the property node and method seem have none about default view

The 3D Graph control is actually an ActiveX control (in Windows), so it's not a "standard" LabVIEW control with the "standard" run-time popup menu. Consequently, to access most of the properties and actions you actually have to use the Property Node and Invoke Node functions in the Application Control palette:

I realize I'm over a year late, but I just ran into the same issue about wanting the shortcut menu on a 3D graph.

I found a work around.  When you right click on the label, the shortcut menu appears.  So, what I did was resize the label to be the size of the graph.  Then when you right click the graph, it right clicks the label, and the shortcut menu appears.

Not sure why
