CaseyM Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'd like to be able to right-click on a terminal, browse over to the "Create" option and have there be an "Event" menu option along with the "Constant", "Control", etc. Bonus points if you could browse to a sub-menu beneath (like with "Property Node") that that had the relevant events associated with that control. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment
Yair Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 The main problem I can think of is selecting which event structure it would be part of. Many people probably only have one, but that's not necessarily the case. I think that the problem is simply that the event configuration dialog isn't that great (yes, I'm understated, what can I say?). Perhaps an alternative implementation would be to select the control from the from panel (similar to how you associate a control in the connector pane) instead of the listbox. One shortcut you can use today is that you can type to jump to entries in the listbox. This applies to both the control selection and the event selection. Quote Link to comment

Good point - I hadn't thought of multiple event structures. I'd be fine with a connector pane style interface as well as pretty much anything would be better than what currently exists.

Yair Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 You should send this to NI's product suggest center if you want them to see this. I know that they are aware that people don't like that dialog box, but I have no idea if they're doing anything about it. Quote Link to comment
