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.

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,
phidu

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't change sort settings for multiple items in iTunes 7.1

iTunes 7.1 introduces a great feature—the ability to set a separate Sort Name, Sort Artist, Sort Album, etc. This means that "Weird Al" Yankovic songs can finally appear down among the Y's instead of up at the top of every list, by changing the Sort Artist to Yankovic, Weird Al.
Unfortunately, this feature is fatally crippled in 7.1. As far as I can tell, you can only change the Sorting information on individual tracks. When you change the information for multiple tracks, the Sorting tab doesn't show up. This renders the feature all but useless.
Let's say (hypothetically) that your friend is an enormous nerd (in theory) and your friend has 139 "Weird Al" Yankovic tracks (for the purposes of this example only, of course). Instead of just selecting all these tracks at once and changing the Sort Artist to Yankovic, "Weird Al", I (I mean, he) has to retype this information for each individual track. That's crazy! Surely this must be a bug.
Core 2 Duo 20" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I just found the solution to this myself.
In a very un-Apple way, this is an undocumented feature only accessible by right- (or control-) clicking.
1. Change one track to your desired sort settings (for instance, set the Sort Artist to Yankovic, Weird Al.
2. Right-click on that track. In the contextual menu that appears, there is a new submenu called "Apply Sort Field." If you choose "Same Artist," it will apply your new sorting information to all your other tracks by "Weird Al" Yankovic (or, if you are not a huge nerd, any other artist you substitute).

Handle runtime menu in subvi event

I am passing the runtime menu reference to a subvi event structure for processing the top-level runtime menu in the event case. I already have a registered case to handle any change in the top level vi control values. Since, I'm passing a runtime menu reference to the subvi, I initially thought I can handle the runtime menu in the subvi event. When I add an event, runtime menu is not a choice when setting the event up. The event setup does show "shortcut menu" as a selection but this must be for a context menu or the like.
Thx ahead of time,
richjoh

Hi Richjoh,
what you should do is pass the VI-refnum into the sub-vi, and register there for menu events! A menu reference, does not cover a FP-object so LV has no events for it.

How can one increase or zoom the size of the menu bar tabs/control items? They are tiny at HD resolution.

i have a large monitor and i have it set to high res. This makes everything small. I bring it up with no squint but this does not work on the upper menu/tool bar/control/tabs or their drop down menus, leaving me squinting again. There needs to be a no squint feature for this area of the browser

How to change the attributes of GUI CONTROLS in my own program.

hi all,
i just want to change the attributes of GUI CONTROLS in my own program.
for example `
How to set an ICON on my GUI BUTTON in the program?
so what's the mapping between CONTROL in the SCREEN PAINTER and variable in the program?

Hi Chao Liu,
Ya , u first find out the PF-STATUS of the screen and goto that status and now u can modify the ICON u want .
Finding the GUI status of the screen
Goto that TRANSACTION CODE or SCREEN
On the Standard Menu bar Goto ( Menu path) System --> Status
Now u get a pop-up System :status in that in SAP Data block u can find GUI Status. Now Double Click on that Status. It takes u to the Status of that screen.
Now click on the Display --> Change Button on the application tool bar.
If it is a standard GUI-status then it asks for the ACCESS KEY.
if it is a custom defined GUI Status then u can change the status .

Programatically set runtime menu to default

I am trying to set the Runtime menu from a custom menu back to the default menu. I write a string using the RunTimeMenuPath property node when the VI is idle. All the basic combinations failed: empty string, "default", "default.rm". When I open the VI and verify the menu change, the string I specified cannot be found and the menu is then reset to default.
Is there another way to set the RunTime menu back to default other than the RunTimeMenuPath property?
I have LV2010 Professional.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Found the solution to this problem. The reference that I was using was generic Virtual Instrument and gave me at RunTime Menu Path as a string. There was no way to clear the menu. When I obtained a VI Refnum instead, setting the path to <Not a Path> changed the Run Time menu to the default.

Change the selection of tree control with a right click

How is it possible to change the item selected in a tree control (LabVIEW7) with a mouse right click ?

Filippo,
Here is a popup menu toolkit, with an additional example for a listbox. If I
understand your problem, it shouldn't be hard to change it to a tree
control.

Wiebe.

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

Changing the bitrate of multiple songs

Let's face it...who needs a 3:42 song to be 10.7 MB? I was wondering if there was a way for me to change the bitrate of multiple songs at one time to, say, 128 kbps?
eMachines Windows XP

First you need to change your import settings to the format and bitrate you want, for example, AAC 128kbps. Then go to the list if songs you want to change. Click on the first song in your list then while holding down the shift key click on the last one. This will highlight all in between. Go to the Advanced menu and click on Convert selection to AAC:
