Label for dynamic events

[Mikrobi]

Hello all

I work at application sensitive for other application events. Using function 'Register For Events' dynamic register four events from that same VIs with that same indicator name.

Finally I get four events with that same name, but I would like specify different names for them.

Here is diagram:

Is it possible to do that?

Hey Mikrobi,

You can change the name of the events. The key is to change the name of the refnum that you are passing into the Register for Events primitive. However, if you're using the same subvi to pass that reference out that makes it a little tougher, but still possible.

Yes, it is possible to change the name of refnum, but only at edit mode. I need to set events name at run mode.

Mikrobi,

You can use a type-cast to rename your wire:

To change the dataname of a wire, use the function Typecast or Variant to Data. On the type input, wire an appropriately named control or constant.

Didn't know you wanted to change it at run mode... sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yes but it is static method, I need to do it from control. Your method base at control or constant with existing name, but I want to set name from control input.

Yes, at runtime.

Hi Mikrobi,

I'm not entirely sure if I understand what you're trying to accomplish but I believe it sounds like you want each event to occur based on different controls. If this is the case all you need to do is pass the dynamic event refnum into another register for events function. Then pass the refnum of each control you want to associate with that event. From there the event handler should take care of the rest.

Good luck,

If the event name is not known at edit time, how could you create an event case for it, and put code to handle this unknown event :question:

For the specific use of casting control refnums, the function "To More Specific Class" is more appropriate here, providing an error when the typecasting is not appropiate for the control class e.g. typecasting a generic control refum (string) to a specific control refnum (numeric).
