Event Structure: Dragging a Terminal to Automatically Select an Event Source

[Mr._Jim]

Folks,

I think it would be nice if the following were true:

• Drag a control or indicator's terminal into an event structure while holding down Shift, Alt, or some other key.
• The "Edit Events" dialog subsequently opens with that front panel object already selected as an event source.

This would save the developer from having to navigate through the event sources tree every time s/he wishes to add an event for a control.

Was something similar already suggested?

Thanks very much,

Jim

I need to learn to search for existing ideas before spending time creating an image in paint. Since I already created this image before I found this thread I may as well attach it. I would hate for it to go to waste!

I don't understand why there are so few kudos! Now I'm going to find lonely orphans thread...

The meta/modifier key used could be used to distinguish whether a new case should be added or an event should be added to the current case (you could also not use a key for one of the modes).

I don't know how discoverable/intuitive this would be - control often is associated with copy/new, so maybe no key = add to existing; ctrl key = new case.
