Please add Front panel Control value set with signaling method

Status: New

Currently there is a method for setting the control value of another VI via the Control Value Set Method. But there is no set with signaling method which allows control of VI's which react to changes on front panel controls. This makes it hard to automate VI's that are using front panel control events. There is a tedious work around to get references to control on the front panel and then use value signaling method . It would be very useful to just have one additonal method that does the signaling in additon to setting the value of the control.

I'd go for no.

 

You can certainly script event structures, and check if there are static events for the control.

 

To find dynamic event registrations for the control is much more complex. I'd not even start. For example, any VI in memory (or even VIs that left memory) could have opened a VI reference (dynamically, static) and then used a number of ways to get a reference to the control and register for it's event.
