Can anyone make LabVIEW do this?

1) Symbols in a drop down type Menu (pref enum reurned)

2) Also combining a nice toolbar button with a drop down?

Ie. I can do a standard hover-over/picture-depressed when pressed (but classic style) and want to combine it with a drop down.

It would be nice if the RTM can be associated with symbols - so I could visually match up a toolbar button to it's run-time menu item - any rumors of this in future release?

Cheers

I have not heard any rumors or seen examples of a UI like this.

I'm sure that you could utilize some .NET components to get this kind of if not close functionality, but I'm not sure which ones.

To do a LV implementation would be fun but a very involved process.

Due to the cross platform nature of LV, I've got a feeling that trying to natively support this feature would be a few years off until this kind of menu and drop downs are common.

Captain thanks for the reply! I am possibly thinking xcontrol here for the boolean/dropbox aswell.

Yair cheers for the suggestion...am searching away...

I can't believe making app that look like MS Windows stuff is so much work (toolbars, status bars, handling resizing etc...)

As for controls I am hoping in they will start appearing natively in LV very soon.

In my opinion the more my GUI look like MS Windows (when they are running on Windows OS PC's) the better it is for my client: from a satisfaction, intuitiveness and quicker adaptiveness standpoint.

Actually, it wasn't. I was refering to a right click context menu, which would be more relevant in your case.

P.S. If you come up with something, why not post it?

Yer fo shizzle. Nuthing beats sharing...

I have done a "non moving" button looking ring but I don't like it cause

a) it has a border so it doesn't blend into my toolbar

b) it doesn't "depress" when you press it (cause its not a real boolean)

So currently I gave up. If I get something good then I will post.
