Activating boolean cluster from a scan code

[Newton2this]

Hi, I am trying to activate Boolean controls within a cluster using a scan code.  Can anyone help me?  I have attached a VI below with instructions to illustrate the problem. Thanks.  John

Not sure if this is what you are looking for. Have a try, there are many ways to implement this. I would also recommend type defining your cluster, also think about splitting it in to three different categories which means that you can disable the whole thing at once. It also means that you can add controls later on and as it is a type defined item, everything should still work fine.

First of all, thank you for your prompt response and suggestions!  I am not seeing the Booleans activating any indicators in the Output Array however.  It doesn't look like you have type defined anything here either.  I am assuming you're just suggesting I pursue that as a solution.  I will need all the Booleans to be active at once unfortunately and each one should light up an indicator in the Output Array.  Sorry if I hadn't made that clear.  I thank you for showing me how to stop the program.  I am not sure how that is working just yet however either - maybe you could clarify the function of the event structure for me?

The 'Visible' control is non functional as well - can you please try to follow my original instructions first?  If you need clarification let me know. Thank you,

John

John,

I misunderstood your instructions. Try this.

If you need information about event structures, just search. Some info here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/glang/event_structure/ also try the example finder.
