Menu Ring disabled update bug

Currently still on Labview 2011 (upgrading within a few weeks to 2012 SP1) I have the following bug:
If a Menu Ring is disabled and has a "normal" (non-empty) value it will keep its contents (meaning: shown text will remain) when you overwrite StringsAndValues[] with an empty array.
I was unable to find anything about it either officially fixed / known or on this forum, meaning it will probably still be there in the latest version.
Can someone please verify to see if this bug indeed (still) exists in the latest Labview version?
Solved!

Thanks, though I fail to see why a Menu Ring can not be empty. Imo there should NOT be an error message, but just a plain empty control (or indicator).
I use the Menu Ring to show and allow (if there are other types available) to change a subtype of an electronic product. The control typically does so for released products, meaning I filter out products (and subtypes) still under development (or still undefined). The list can thus be empty. People busy with development have a setting available to also show (and change to / from) these new or (as of yet) unknown types and products. When there are no elements (in this case: subtypes) or only one the control is disabled.
I looked further into this and at no point does Labview mention, force or coerce a user to have at least one element in a (Menu) Ring.

Disable updating of the menu widget when working with Muse file?

First of all thank you Adobe for creating Muse - I really like it a lot!
My question:
when I work on my website with 250+ pages, it strains the performance to make even the slightest changes to the page structure. I work with two Masters each with much the same horisontal menu widget.
Adding, deleting and rearranging pages makes the PC (Windows 7 laptop of some but not awesome power) make a halt and take a deep breathe for some seconds. It really interupts the flow of working.
A crude work around for this is to removing the menu widget in the two masters and put it into a new master page, containing only the copied menu from the two other masters and keeping the rest of the header in place on the original masters to use for aligning on the pages. This way, only one page has to update when working with adding, deleting and rearranging pages.
I have tried to look for a preference to disable updating the Menu widget when working on the page structures and just enable it the update again when the work is done? does it exist? else I would recommend it strongly :-) Since my work around is a bit tricky/risky to use after publishing ;-)
Again, thanks a lot for this nice program. Being a selftought CS (now CCC) user I like the ease of control of the webdesign you can get with Muse (at the dispence of other features of course - if you ever wanted to add some sort of database-lookup feature it would be MUCH appreciated. One workaround is to use iframe and an external search/lookup page, that returns results with links back to parent pages. A bit funny construction though :-) ).

Glad to know you are enjoying Muse.
It can be very processor intensive if you have multiple Master pages with their own All Pages menu widget. Take a look at the following threads and refer to Zak's response.

See if you are able to use just one All Pages menu widget at your site while taking advantage of the hierarchical Master page feature.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/adobe-muse-hierarchical-master-pages/
We are aware of the performance issues caused by the Menu widget (All pages type) and is something being looked upon by the engineering in one of the upcoming releases.

How to disable multiple items in menu ring?

Hi I have a difficulty understanding on how to disable the items in the menu ring control. I need to know so that I will enable some items for the future products for testing. And why is the first item disabled? How can I disable the right items?

Your vi works perfectly :
you are disabling the menu items wich correspond to the elements of the 1D array :
-if the array is empty, no element is disabled;
-if the array contains 1 element, for instance = 3, the forth (3+1) menu item will be disabled. If the array element equal zero, then the first menu item will be disabled;
- if the array contains 2 elements, then two corresponding menu items will be disabled, and so on...

Selecting item in the menu ring will disable in the another menu ring

hi everyone,

hi devchander,
                      By making any 4 rings with values(1,2,3,4) the disable items property works correctly in that application . But after make all menu rings value to 0 the other numbers(1,2,3,4) are disable in first click(mouse down event).it appear after the second mouse down event only why? and
eg:
rings              values
ring 1              4
ring 2               3
ring 3              1
ring 4               2
ring 1              0
but still  other menu rings are disable the value 1.how i enable it?

How to disable Updates for adobe bridge in photoshopCS6

I was able to grey out the adobe photoshop updates in help menu. using the preferences file under

But the adobe bridge which is present with in photoshop, "Help"->"update" option is not greyed out and thows error "unable to update, you do not have internet connection or you are not an system administrator". Same is the case with AAMEE configuration.
But if I delete this preference file, then I can launch it. Here my requirement is to grey our the update option both in photoshop and bridge as this will be deployed enterprise wide. Help me out how I can do this?

Hi Venkat,
See if this helps (as taken from Adobe helpx http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-update-manager-administrators-cs3.html. Looks like CS3 & CS4, I know. But worth giving a shot:
On Windows XP or Windows Vista
      Using Regedit.exe, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe
      Create a new key in this folder named "Updater"
      Create a new DWORD value within this key named "Enterprise with a value of "1"
Also, try one or both of these:
HKLM\Software\Adobe\Updater - Create a DWORD named 'Enterprise' with value '1'.
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Updater - Create a DWORD named 'Enterprise' with value '1'.
HKLM - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKCU - HKEY_CURRENT_USER
(I'm sure you're aware of this, but for other users who visit this thread for similar issue - this will help!)
Let us know how it goes.

Disable updates of deleted apps

How do I disable updates on deleted, inappropriate apps (17+) downloaded by my kid? He deleted them but they come back in updates. I understand they can't come off history but how can we get rid of them for good?

I was under the impression that ALL the apps you have acquired will show up in the Purchased list on the iPad's App Store, free or not. Just checked in the iPad and all 602 apps I have entitlement to, all free but one, show up there. Most are not on the device and a few I have not used in ages. This is the same list that appears on a computer's iTunes program, when logged into the corresponding AppleID and in the Library / Apps / All pane. Might need to do a Show Sidebar in the View menu if the Library item is not immediately visible
Beware, however, that items on that list can be hidden so a crafty kid may use the feature to keep the parents in the dark. Hiding can only be currently done via iTunes on a computer, not on the iPad. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

How to make menu ring items visible through VNC ?

I have an application that has a menu ring in it. I am compiling the app., distributing it to a remote system, and viewing it using VNC (3.3.7) . Everything works through VNC with the exception that I can't see the items on the Menu Ring when it is selected (if I select the Menu Ring through VNC I can see on the host computer that it does cause the ring to drop down). I saw the item in the discussion forum regarding disabling the menu animation - I did this and recompiled the app., but this did not fix the problem.

In the VNC configuration, try "refresh entire screen" It really slows things down, but it gurarantees that every item is actually read.

Best way to implement confirm button in conjunction with menu ring selections

So basically I have a series of menu rings that implement different cases of a structure that adjusts PWMs and other timing signals. I have received a request to add in a confirmation button/dialog that pops up to make sure the operator wants to perform the selected operation. I'm doing this on a PXI 7831R FPGA board and have run into timing violations in the past, so the less timing critical, the better. If there is some way to offload this onto the host VI, even better. Thanks in advance for the help.

If there is some way to offload this onto the host VI, even better.
Considering the FPGA does not support dialogue boxes or event structures, you will have to implement this into a host VI.
My suggestion? Have a case structure with a latch boolean control on it (ie. update config). Your host VI will have an Open FPGA VI reference and run the FPGA this way. When you want to update the config, you can change your items, then hit 'update'. Include the dialogue box for confirmation if you wish. When this is done, it will use a read/write control to update the boolean 'update config' on the FPGA. Your FPGA VI will then read that case structure with the config data in it once(since it is a latched boolean) and then continue on its merry way.

Dynamically changing elements in an array of menu ring controls

I have an array (32 rows, 5 columns) of menu ring controls. When a menu selection is made in the first column of any given row, the contents of the menu ring for the subsequent columns (same row) may change. If this is possible, how would you do it? Thanks.

A ring is just a number as far as LabVIEW is concerned, so the underlying cluster need only store numbers, not rings.
In the example I posted in a linked thread, where controls are moved around on top of a table, you need only one ring control. Each time you show that ring, you can assign a new set of strings and values to it, using the Strings and Values property. You can decide what set of strings to show based on the existing data in the cluster, which will get updated each time you change the value in a cell of the table. Does that make sense? I don't have time right now to put together a more detailed example than what I've already uploaded in other threads, and it's only a small change to that.
You update the menu ring at the time the user wants to select a value from it, not at the time the user changes the value that determines what set of menu items to show.

Error 1082 when setting Strings[] property of a menu ring control via property node.

I've attached a VI in which I attempt to set the Strings[] property of a menu ring control via a property node. Can anybody figure out what I'm doing wrong here? I'm using LabView version 7.1.
Thanks,

Why Photoshop Elements 11 File-Export menu item disabled?

why is Photoshop Elements 11 File-Export menu item disabled?
To Dup:
bring up the tool and a photoshop project file
ensure my license is up to date
ensure this tool is updated
File Export is disabled
try may other files, get same result

I have no idea what it has ever been used for (Save As usually being the route to export to a different format), but it exists and is greyed out in PSE12 as well. I suspect a hangover from an old version.
Cheers,
Neale

Hi Veeru,
you change the index of your array between 0 and 1 for every element. Do you want a binary display? If yes you switch the on color of your LEDs to blue and off to black. Then you can use the attached code.
Hope it helps.

How do you individually strikeout text in a menu ring?

I have a menu ring with a list of options for the user. Once the option has been ran, I want the text in the menu ring to reflect this by being "strikedout"... I don't want it disabled, just incase the user wants to rerun the option but I want the menu ring to mark which options have been chosen. Is it possible to individually strikeout text in a menu ring - just like you can individually disable items using the appropriate property node?

Blindon,
Elements in the menu ring are array elements. Each element in array must have the same font (This is a limitation of the definition of an array). So, you can only set all elements to be strikedout, not individual ones. (with the property node)
