Insert Menu Items (G Dataflow)

Tag of the submenu in which to insert items.

Default: Empty string — Causes this node to insert the items at the top level of the menu.

Reference to a menu bar in a VI.

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error	error in contains an error
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally. If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.	If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

Names of the items to insert.

You can wire either item names, or item tags, or both. If you wire only one of the two inputs, item names and item tags have the same values.

This input accepts a string or a 1D array of strings.

Default: Empty string — Causes this node to use the same value as item tags for item names. If item tags and item names are empty strings, this node does not insert any item into the menu.

Tags of the items to insert.

This input accepts a string or a 1D array of strings.

You can wire either item names, or item tags, or both. If you wire only one of the two inputs, item names and item tags have the same values.

You can insert a menu separator using the APP_SEPARATOR tag. The tag of each menu item must be unique. This node appends numbers to any menu item tags that are the same or already exist.

Default: Empty string — Causes this node to use the same value as item names for item tags. If both are empty strings, this node does not insert any item into the menu.

Position to insert the items.

This input accepts a string or a 32-bit signed integer.

after item can be a tag of an existing item or a position index in the menu. Refer to the following table to determine how to wire after item.

If the node does not find an existing item with the tag you specify, this node inserts the items at the end of the menu.

Default: Empty string — Causes this node to insert the items at the end of the menu.
