Is it possible to create a context menu, which is launched by right mouse button click event?

[AlexanderKhodarev]

The question is following: when you are pushing right button in the window of a working vi you see the build-in context menu of labview. Is it possible to customize it, or create the new one?

There's no nuilt-in LabVIEW function or tool to do it, but Dave Ritter published an artical in the LabVIEW Technical Resource last year that described how to do this. It uses the Event Structure so you need to have at least LabVIEW 6.1.

You can read a bit of the artical here. There's also a link on the bottom of the page where you can purchase that issue to get the entire artical and sample code.

Hi,

Here's an LLB from NI that I've modified to do what I wanted a few months ago. I use it when I need right-click context menus. Don't try to make too big context menus because they are not easy-to-make by this mean.
I suggest you make a subvi that creates the handle and the choices (that's what I usually do). See example VI in the LLB

Sorry, but comments are in French in this LLB. Version is LV7.0 and OK with WinXP...

Hope this helps !
Julien

Hi,

Here is another one in English. The creation of large menus might be easier.

Wiebe.

Hi Wiebe,

Thank you very much for your comment *****.
Your llb is far easier to use than the one I've posted.

Do you also have easy-to-use LLBs for ToolBars and StatusBar as well ? The one I use for ToolBars takes definitely too much time (ActiveX)...

Well done anyway for your LLB !!

Julien,

Thanks for the credit..

I did Toolbars (Coolbars actually) but I also used AX. The code I've made
didn't have nice llb's, just some messy experimental code.

Regards,

Wiebe.

Hey Guys,
I was searching for customised "Right Click Menu" and
I found useful information from the discussion. so i thought i would contribute something for people who would have similar searches like me.

Context Menu LLB was indeed very useful. i added some code to it which explains a simple way to create SUBMENUS. the program is straight forward so havent put many Comments. the program is in labview7.0 works fine with Win XP. it can be used with Context Menu LLB from Julien.
thanks

Hi,

For those of you who don't use M$, I also have a *platform independant
context menu toolkit* (yes, also with submenus). It's not exactly the same
(look and feel) but it's very similar to the M$ menus.

It will be on our website soon (get it from my mail adress), but I could
mail it if someone is very eager (remove capitals from mail adres).

Regards,

Wiebe.
