Downloaded and activated LV8 and converted one of our projects from 7.1.1. A bit of a struggle to get all the dynamically linked VIs to refer to the right sub-VIs now that it supports "name spaces", and it seems a bit strange to add VIs directly from disk instead of selecting them from the project, HOWEVER... I came across something that looks like a bug, namely how built applications handle top level menu items that have a _ prefix in their name to allow Alt+Letter navigation. It works as it should in the development environment, but when you build the application the menus end up in a pile and the _ prefix has become a line above the first letter instead. Look at the attached illustration. Is this something anyone else have seen or can reproduce?

I can create event and case structures using scripting and put them into a loop etc., however I need to also make and link a number of frames, has anyone successfully done that using scripting? Adding a frame is easy enough, but to link it to an event or selector value seems to be more difficult. For a case structure there is a selector strings property, but that is read only...It seems a bit strange that you can make all the code, except give the frames their names / event link...so I hope it is doable. Alternatively: The end goal is to make a central GUI handler based on an event structure that can react to clicks on a large number of script-created buttons (hundreds, perhaps thousands, spread across different VIs). The event structure should fire when any of the buttons are clicked and identify them and perform the appropriate action based on the label of the button...Creating one frame linked to a mouse down for all the buttons would be one way, separate frames for each event a second way, but the linking must be automated as well...
