Changing runtime menu item names dynamically in executable

I want to change the language of my application dynamically. In the run-time menu i do this by changing de item names (leaving de item tags the same) In Labview (6.1) this works but in a application builder build executable this don't work.

How are you changing the runtime menu dynamically? Are you reading the menu settings from a file? If so you might be losing the path to the file in the executable.

How can I change the state of a runtime menu item programatically?

Using LabView 6.1, I would like to change the state of the runtime menu item "Operate/Print at completion".
The goal here is to print the VI front panel according to the operator choice (OK ->print, Cancel ->don't print)
In a first release, I put a Stop function at the dialog output (activated by the cancel button) but this function stop the complete application and my idea where to stop only the VI in which the dialog is running.
In a second release, I've tried to use the "Application
control/Menu" but I receive every time an error:
Error 88 occured at Cannot modify application menu item in the printtest.vi.
Possible reasons: LabView, Runtime menu error...
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Re
gards,

Instead of using the print at completion option, print the VI programatically if the user selects to print...open a reference to the VI you want to print and use an invoke node to print vi to printer.
Alternatively create another VI with a layout optimized for printout, set it to print at completion and run and load the data into that VI if and only if the user OKs the print...

Can we change NAME OF TAB and ITEM NAME dynamically at runtime in forms 6i

Hi all,
I have a requirement like
1) based on organization choosen the TAB NAME AND TAB LABLE name in tab canvas should be changed dynamically. can this happen?
example: In forms i gave the NAME and LABLE OF TAB (PROPERTY PALLET) as *'TAB_INITIAL'* and *'TAB_INITIAL'* respectively .
when org_1 is choosen , lable should be changed to 'TAB_ORG_1' .
when org_2 is choosen , lable should be changed to 'TAB_ORG_2'. can the NAME also be changed dynamically??
2)Similarly can we change the ITEM NAMES present on this tab based on organization selection?
Thanks,
Durga Srinivas

Hello.
You can perform this by using:
set_tab_page_property('Tab_page_name', label,'your_desire_label');
and for item set_item_property.
More details on these built-ins and also some example can be found in Forms Builder Help.

Alex

Changes to OITM Item Name replicate to RDR1 Dscription on open order lines

Hi
A quick question, does anyone know if it is practical to have changes to an item's Item Name field replicated to sales orders RDR1 Dscription field on orders which have open lines for that item?
Scenario we face is when an item is made 'obsolete' standard practice is to mark it inactive and edit the OITM Item Name field to contain 'Obsolete'.
We may have sales orders with lines open for this obsolete part which we need to be automatically updated if the original data changes.
Thanks in advance for advice or guidance.

Hi Marli,
Try this:
IF $[RDR1.U_Label] = '2'
SELECT Case T0.U_UPCChoice
When 1 THEN T1.U_UPCRetail
WHEN 2 THEN T1.U_UPCLoc
WHEN 3 THEN T1.U_UPCItem
WHEN 4 THEN 'Look at Attachment'
END
FROM dbo.OCRD T0, dbo.OITM T1
WHERE T0.CardCode = $[$4.0.0] AND T1.ItemCode = $[$38.1.0]
Thanks,
Gordon

How to change the menu item text

Hi,
in cj20n transaction, for one of menu item i have to change the text of the item. How can i change the text.
Regards,
Ram

HI,
First try to find the exists available for that transaction and find menu exit in that exist. Once you find the exits create project in tcode cmod then go to that menu exit.
Just double click on that exit, it will show the existing text, if you want to change the text then click on change mode, it will asks for package, you have to provide package then give the text whatever you want and save it and activate it.
The new text will be available in your transaction.

Changing runtime menu of multiple controls

I have ~90 indicators that I need to change the runtime menu of. Is there an easy way to do this all at once? I can't think of one, but figured I'd ask.
Thanks,
-M
Edit: To clarify, they are all being changed to the exact same menu.

I actually expected this to be quite easy with LabVIEW Scripting, but I couldn't find the functions needed. Here is a post a while ago that basically said you can't.

hi
I have created 2 screen exits for IW51 screen and I access them from menu...
Goto->Enhancement->Notification->Cust Data Notif...
Now the user wants me to change the label 'Cust data notif' .. where can i change this ??

I got it resolved not through SPRO...
Let me tell it stepwise so that it may be helpful to someone in future...
First find the main program for IW51.. SAPLIQS0 ... but we do not find the required user exit here
Goto SE84.. Environment ->Development Co-ordination->Development Classes
Select notifications-> QM-QN and get the package QQM....
go back to SE84 and find the user exits for QQM... Menu Entries
We need to find menu exits for user command +U01 and +U02... which is
QQMA0021 QM/PM/SM: Function "User data" in "Goto" menu
EXIT_SAPLIQS0_011 Supply Function Codes with Text/ Deactivate Codes

Change e-mail attachment name dynamic in Broadcaster

Hi,
I want to send an e-mail to multiple recipient by the setting "e-mail bursting" in broadcaster. Each e-mail has an attachment (pdf-document).
Is it possible, to change the name of the attachment dynamic, when sending the mail to the different recipients (example:
recipient 1: recipient1.pdf,
recipient 2: recipient2.pdf,
and so on)
I tried a solution with text variables, but it didn't work.
Regards,
Tim Jaschik

Hi,
thanks for your fast answer. But my problem is to change the attachment name of the e-mail, not to schedule the e-mail.
So, is there no possibility to control the process which creates the attachment name?
Regards,
Tim

Are you saying you are not able to create an object by value (select: statement) as sysdate and put it onto the headers of your report? You can use the add_months() function on the object to add the numbers of months you wish.

Actobat 9 Execute Menu Item problem

I have a new PC with Window 7 and have successfully loaded Acrobat 9 pro - but a lot of the Acrobat functionality is now missing (it all worked under the XP platform). For example, when creating a form, using a buttom with an 'Execute menu item' command is not possible - it's blank actually. As this is the most useful tool within Acrobat forms it's really annoying. I have upgraded to 9.4.1 which is supposed to be Window 7 compatible but no luck. I've unistalled and reinstalled and called Adobe support (4 hours!) and still no solution.
Can anyone help me?

After selecting this action you're supposed to go to the actual menus and
select the menu item that should be executed. This is instead of choosing it
from a list. Did you try that?

How can I change the File-- Open menu item?

In Bridge CS4, I want an option to open a selected JPEG photo in Photoshop CS4, which I believe would be the File-->Open command. However, in that menu item I only have the option of selecting ACDSee Pro to open a file with.
Is there a way to change this menu item so that I can select Photoshop CS4 to open a JPEG with?
Thanks,
John

Thanks John. Go into the Windows Folder options and associating CS4 with JPEG fixed the problem. In fact, when I do File-->Open now in Bridge CS4, all of my photo editors appear on the list.

Runtime menu crash

Hi,
In one application I have a runtime menu which is dynamically changed. When a option is not available, the menu point is dimmed. Now I found out, that LabVIEW crashes every time when the runtime menu is opened while the change occurs in the program.
Is there a way to avoid this? Otherwise the whole option to change the runtime menu dynamically would be worthless..
Best regards
Dermot

Hi
just now by looking at it a second time, I found the solution.
In a early version of the program I added and deleted the runtime menu tags dynamically. When the runtime menu was opened during a delete action, LabVIEW 7.1 crashed completly.
Now I just dim the tags that are not available, that means I only change the properties of the tags and the program works just fine.
Thanks and best regards
Dermot
