I have used the menu option in my LabVIEW programs for decades, and it has worked out quite well. Right now I have a large program that seems to have a problem with the menu, as it takes 3 seconds between I click on my meny before the menu pops up. This might sound as a small issue, but it leaves an impression of a poorly designed program, and it is an irritating issue.
I use the Current VI's Menubar.vi to establish connection with the menu, and then I check the Get Menu selection.vi 20 times a second, with a 10 ms timeout.
I have tried to change the VI properties - Execution - Priority, and tested all variations without any improvement. Same thing with the various Preferred Execution System, I tried them all but still the menu uses 3000 ms before it pops up.
Anybody - anything ?
