undo/redo menu doesn't work on runtime

[mike muren]

I am using a custom real-time menu. I have included the application
functions of Undo and Redo as well as copy/cut/paste. The menu works
fine when I run the vi in development mode; but when I build an exe
using the application builder, undo and redo do not appear on the menu
bar. The other menu items are there and work as expected.

Does anyone know how to get around this problem? Any help is
appreciated.

I have the exact same problem. I am using LabVIEW 8.2, when I am in development mode the Undo/Redo work fine, if I build an executable the Undo/Redo options do not show. In the executable if I type ctrl+z, the control gets populated with zzz.

I am not even doing a fancy menu. I am using the "minimal" menu option. 

I am attaching a sample vi and the exe I did to show the problem.

I hope someone can help and I don't have to wait 9 years. The previous post is from 2000!!!

Thanks

This is still an issue on LabVIEW 2010.

I posted the code that I created to implement undo/redo menu options here: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-14805

I also confirmed that according to the LabVIEW help undo/redo should not be available in stand alone applications: 

I added an idea to the idea exchange requesting that redo/undo could be used in stand alone applications:
