Handling Events Generated in a SubVI Using LabVIEW

[Wes_P]

Overview

This VI demonstrates how to handle events that are generated in a subVI

Description

If you are familiar with handling user interface events by using the event structure in the same VI, this VI shows how to handle events that are generated in a subVI. Sometimes we want to have the ability to handle events that are generated in a subVI, one or more, in a way that enables the Main VI responding to different types of events , from a different types of resources. This VI shows how to implement such application.

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Complete

1. Open the code and run the main VI. A sub VI will pop up. 
2. Click the "Clicky" button, and observe that both the sub VI front panel, and the main VI front panel are being updated with the number of clicks.
3. You can dynamically register for events if you have the reference for the control or for the user event that you want to register. 
4. Because we can get control references to controls in any VI, we can register for events in any VI.  You can then use the event structure in the main VI to handle it.

This doesn't seem to work, there is also no documentation in the vi explaining what is going on, or what is supposed to happen.

Hi crewx,

Please take a look at this again.  The wrong version of the code got uploaded by accident the first time around.
