Event for Control.

Generated when the user selects an application item from the shortcut menu. This event is posted before the application item is processed by LabVIEW. The Shortcut Menu Selection? (App) event is a filter event.

For a filter event, if you do not wire an element in the Event Filter Node that appears on the right-hand side of the event case, the default value of the element is the value output by the corresponding element in the Event Data Node on the left-hand side of the event case.
