jak692 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 I currently have a few numerical indicators in the application I'm working on. When the output from the indicators reaches a certain level the indicator begins to blink. Here is my question: I would like the user to be able to click on the blinking indicator to bring up a cluster control which contains buttons for certain options in dealing with the alarm. Is this possible? If not what would be the best option? I don't know how to make an event happen when the user clicks on the indicator. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks alot! Quote

The "Event Structure" has a mouse event case you can select and tie it to your indicator. Then you can invoke another vi with the cluster on its front panel from within the event case. Quote

jcarmody Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 [...] bring up a cluster control [...] Another option would be to use a custom menu for the controls. The user would right-click on the control and be presented with options that you'd handle in the Event Structure. Quote

I would probably use the right click menu option, otherwise you can do something like this. Cheers, Mikael GrayOut.vi Quote
