Application Item Tags

Select Edit»Run-Time Menu from the front panel or block diagram window of a VI to display the Menu Editor dialog box and view application item tags.

Use the tags in the following tables to customize menus programmatically or statically and to delete menu items.

Tip Tip  You also can use tags to customize shortcut menus.

Items followed by an asterisk (*) are group items. LabVIEW updates this type of item as a group. You cannot add or delete the items within these groups.

Items followed by two asterisks (**) are available in stand-alone applications you build in LabVIEW.
