Sorry for the dumb question. Now I got what I need using this expandable Registration Nodes. I have not been playing with Dynamic Events in my last VIs because they were very simple. But right now I am working on a big VI and sometimes is hard to get some specific properties or changes of objects inside clusters, inside arrays, etc. What's the main application that you have for Dynamic Events? In other words, what's the main advantage that I get using Dynamic Events?

These questions are not dumb... it seems like you're beginning to push your boundaries into first-class UI design.

In this particular application, there is no intrinsic value for using dynamic event registration over static event registration, which is why I suggest you vote for the Idea I linked to above. The only reason you are relegated to using dynamic instead of static event registration is because of the LabVIEW language's limitation of not being able to statically register events for controls inside of an array.

Dynamic event registration offers more flexibility than static event registration by allowing you to selectively turn event handling "on" and "off", and also by registering User Events in your Event Handler Structure. These are more advanced topics that you may or may not need. I'll say once more, the only reason you even need to dabble with dynamic event registration right now is because of the limitation of static event registration when it comes to elements inside an array.

Before we digress too far from the original thread topic, it might be best to mark this thread as solved and begin a new thread if you're interested in learning more about when the use of dynamic events is suggested or required.

chilly charly, you can actually directly create property nodes and references from an array element without needing to first reference the top level parent element (in this case, the array) and drilling down to the element of interest.

You are allowed to laugh !

This is something I (re-)discovered a few seconds after posting  

I have probably been away for too long...

1. It's OK, you get one "Get Out of Jail Free card" before I report you to the Rube Goldberg Police! 

2. Yes, you have been away for quite a while. I had the pleasure of learning from your posts while I was learning LabVIEW UI design, and I look forward to a new batch of fresh wisdom since you're getting back in the groove.

3. I think you need to make a post on Breakpoint and tell us how things have been in your 1.5yr hiatus. And if I remember reading somewhere, you're currently at Montpellier, or previously worked there? We may have connections to each other, but perhaps Breakpoint would be a better place to discuss than this thread.
