You can do it programmatically using property nodes like this.

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)

How do I change the colors of Ring texts individually so when it pulls down, I can see each test with different background color?

I have been using LabView for a almost 18 months now. There was no problem which I could not solve with help of all resources available. But, this is one where I am scratching my head since long time now.
I would like to change colors of each individual text in Ring control programmatically. I have attached example VI. In this VI, I change background color of ring text, but it changes only the current (active) background color, so when you pull down the whole menu, it shows same default color for all the text background (not even the color I asked it to). Is there anyway I can define individually as to what color should be related to each text in ring menu?

" Is there anyway I can define individually as to what color should be related to each text in ring menu?"
Well not with a ring and not programatically.
The best I can suggest is a picture ring, see below.

Using a property node of a menu ring to generate a secondary address does not work in a subvi unless the subvi has been or is opened. Why?

I am writing drivers for third party equipment using LabView 6.1. I am using the property node, digdisp.text, to get the item number of menu ring. This number is being used as the GPIB secondary address for the equipment. This vi is one many subVIs like it in a main vi.
The only way the main vi works consistently is if I open all the subVIs, otherwise the secondary address isn't picked up and I get a EARG and ENOL error in NISpy and a GPIB write error in the Error Out cluster.
I have attached an example of a NIspy capture of a failed attempt.

Hi,
EARG (4)
Error Condition: Invalid argument to a function call.
Description: EARG results when an invalid argument is passed to a function call.
Possible Cause: The following are some examples: you call ibtmo with a value not in the range 0 through 17 (possible timeout values correspond to a table of values ranging from 0 to 17, where the default is 13, which represents a 10 second timeout); you call ibeos with meaningless bits set in the high byte of the second parameter; or you call ibpad (or ibsad) with invalid addresses.
The reason you are getting the error is because not only is your secondary address invalid, but your primary address is also invalid. Lines 14 and 16 of your attached NI-SPY capture set
the primary address (ibpad) and secondary address (ibsad) respectively. You need to make sure that you are passing the addresses properly to the subVIs using a connector. It seems like your programming when sending and receiving data (like the addresses) from your subVIs is not correct. You have to be sure to pass the data back and forth in the proper method using connectors.

Waveform Names to Menu Ring String Property Node

Hi,
I am extracting waveform data (names) to go into a menu ring as string data.
It seems to work, apart from when you actually click on the menu there is no text (though you can successfully change it). I am wondering if it is to do with the odd symbol in front of the name but not sure how to get rid of it.
Hoping it is something simple but it is just knowing where to look with all the options available to you.
Please see attached.
Best Regards,
James

Hi James,
You were 99% of the way there all you needed to do was to pull that weird character from the string, I used the “match pattern” function to allow me to isolate that character and pass the resultant string into the text ring property node. A good bit of advice if you find a character in LabVIEW that you do not recognise or if you are unsure about spacing, right click the output string and select “ ‘\’ codes display “ this will show what the code representation of the string is and you can just feed that directly into the “match pattern” function. I have attached my code (LabVIEW 2010 if you need in previous version please just ask) for you to have a look at. I have used a producer consumer template and selected multiple input channels from a simulated PCI 6220.
P.S. I’m not sure where that character comes from??

Attaching binary arrays to a menu ring

I have been playing around with the menu rings and can't seem to get it to do the function that I want. I am looking to making a pull-down menu for some user options for different resoultion modes for an intrument. So for example one option will be "2 eV" and with this option on I need to send 011 to a instrument. Should I store it as a binary string or array, and how can I do that?
Thanks in advance

Do you always need to send a number to the instrument? If so do it this way:
For the menu ring go to its Properties >> Edit Items. In this dialog you can enter the displayed text and the assosiated number. So yo can pair 2eV with 11. The terminal will give you the number. From your example I assume that the instrument will see the number as text with three digits. Use the "Format into string" function. Set the format string to "%03d" which will give a number with three digits padded with 0 to the left. Inthe example choosing 2eV will give 11 from the terminal and "011" as result from the Format function.

String ring menu ring

One function I have found super useful is the string ring, but I can't find it! The menu ring is pretty easy to find, right click on the front panel and it is listed right there under text controls. But, every time I want a string ring, I have to go into a vi I got help with on one of these forums and copy/paste it in, which is silly.
Also, if I have a menu ring constant (like the one below), is there a way to convert it into a string ring constant (which I also do not know how to make other than the very roundabout way of making a sub.vi with a string ring input and creating a constant) without having to re-type all of the values?

no, the combo box item editor (and menu and enum item editors) that ship with LabVIEW do not live up to expectaions. I imagine that some people have a "roll your own" plug-in handy that adds functionality like multiple separators, blank values, duplicate values, and string to number conversions. Feel fre to vote on this idea
Type cast might be fairly easy to move some of the items though (as Darin is probably typing at the moment)

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!
Go to Solution.

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.

Menu ring

bonjour,
je voudrais utiliser le menu ring pour pouvoir choisir une option pami medium, high, low , null et off.
merci a vous,

Bonjour sirenne,
Il y a quelques facons d'accomplir cela en utilisant le "ring menu".
J'attache un simple exemple qui indique la selection choisi a travers le menu. Dans l'exemple, le menu offre un chiffre qui corrsponds a la selection choisie, soit de 0 (OFF) a 4 (HIGH). Examine le "block diagram" afin de voir ce qui se produit entre le menu et le "Case Structure" qui fait sa selection a partir d'un chiffre. Le Case Structure peux selectionner des "booleans", chiffres ou texte.
Si tu nous offres une explication de ce que tu desires accomplir, on peux (possiblement) offrir de meilleurs conseils.

How to align text below the menu with text in the menu?

I'm trying to design a law firm site with a menu with text below it that is centered with the text in the menu. So, under "ABOUT" in the menu, there is "Meet our Attorneys". I can't get the 2 text boxes to center. When it looks centered, it moves when its FTP uploaded. Here's the site:

Hi
I checked the site and can see that under About , Meet our attorneys both are aligned centrally.
Can you please confirm me if I am missing anything here ?
Thanks,

Spry Menu Bar text mirrored in IE

I'm making my first website with Dreamweaver. So far, I've managed to figure out all my problems on my own. This one, though, is just weird. My webpage looks fine on Firefox but when I load it up on Internet Explorer, my menu bar text (ex:Home) reads mirrored. Not backwards like "emoH" but completely mirrored. I have no idea how to fix this or why it happened. When I press the Compatibility View button IE has, it fixes it though..

You can safely remove the red coloured part
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
    display: block;
    cursor: auto;
    background-color: #F3FCF7;
    padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
    color: #000;
    text-decoration: none;
    text-align: center;
    text-transform: none;
    list-style-type: none;
    filter: FlipH;

How do I modify multiple Menu rings in a loop?

I would like to modify the Strings of 15 Menu Rings in a loop as follows:
Calculate new values
Start For Loop
Write new values to property node Menu ring(N) / Strings[]
End loop
I want to have one poperty node in the loop, whos' reference (or link) gets modified, to point to a different Menu Ring for each iteration of the loop. In other words, without having 15 different property nodes.
Is it possible?
Thanks.

You can create a reference for each control (right click->create...), then build these references into an array using build array, then iterate over the array in a for loop using auto-indexing.
You can do the same for the arrays of strings, but because the arrays can probably have different lengths, you should put each 1D array into a cluster and build a 1D array of the clusters. This is because a 2D array can not have a different number of elements in each row.
If you do this kind of thing often, you can save time on creating the reference by using this.
Try to take over the world!
