How does multiple event structures work?

[gustav]

Ok, so I am working with an application that has two event structures running in paralell loops. I didnt design the application, so I'm not completely sure how it works. One event ( quit button value change ) is handled in both event structures. What I'm wondering is, if an event is handled in multiple event structures, will all of them receive notification when the event occurs?

grateful for any clarification on this .

Yes, provided is not a filter event.

As a side note, I have experienced some problems with dynamic events catched in multiple structures, sometimes events "get lost", so I advise caution.

Events get missed quite often in LV 7.1.1 if there is more than one event listener running simultaneously but I have not seen it occurring in LabVIEW 8.0.1 nor 8.20. I think events were fixes for LV 8.

Anyone considering multiple event structures should read the online help topic:

"Caveats and Recommendations when Using Events in LabVIEW"

Launch LV, use Help>>Search the LabVIEW Help... and use the Search tab to find the above topic. Of particular interest to you will be the topic about "Avoid Placing Two Event Structures in One Loop." It has further details about avoiding hanging when using multiple event structures in general.

Is this only a problem with dynamic events, or with all? I'm working in labview 7.1.1 at the moment.

Thanks, allthough I've allready had a look and it didnt answer this particular question. Definitely some good tips there though .
