LabVIEW

The options in the run-time menu are default and cannot be edited directly. To remove specific options, you need to create a custom menu. This article explains how to create a custom menu and remove specific options from the default menu.

Right-click on the front panel control.
Select Advanced >> Run-Time Shortcut Menu >> Edit.
The Shortcut Menu Editor will open. In the Default menu, select Edit >> Copy Entire Menu.
Change the Menu Type to Custom.
Paste the copied default menu by selecting Edit >> Paste.
After pasting, a blank option with ??? will appear in the first row. Delete this option.
Remove any unwanted options (e.g., Delete Row and Delete Column) from the Custom menu.
Save the menu by selecting File >> Save.
You can either save the custom menu as a file by selecting Save to File or apply it only to this control by selecting Save with Control.
