How to get mouse and keyboard events during edit mode

[wish]

Hi all,

I would like to know if there is any method by which i can register all the events which occur on another VI which is in edit mode?

When the other VI is running i was able to capture all the events using the event structure. But I would like to do the same when this VI is in edit mode. I want to capture all events like menu selections , dropping of controls and functions on the front panel and block diagram, changing the value of the controls etc. Thanks in advance

Regards,

Wish

No such luck. You can only register for events on running VIs.

You could monitor at the OS level for generic keystrokes and mouse actions and then back calculate which control had focus/which control the mouse was over. Takes a lot of work, but it is doable.
