Can a programatically changed LED value change be read by the event structure "value change" event?

I have an event structure set up to queue events as they happen. Everything works fine with my user controls however I have a "secret mode" that can be accessed only by pressing a key sequence on the keyboard. I have the sub-vi built to detect this sequence and trigger a boolean indicator and that works fine too. My problem is that I want that boolean to trigger a new event within my event structure. I tried the "edit events handled by this case" dialog then selected my indicator and value change but it doesnt seem to be working. Could this only work if the event is triggered by a user event and not a programatically generated evert? Is there any way around this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Create a property node, select property Value(signaling)", then write the new value to it. This will trigger the event. (Changes via plain value properties, via wires, or local valiables will not triggere events).

When you set the Boolean, also write to the Value(Signaling) property of the control. That will do the same thing as a front panel event.

Altenbach and Dennis, Thanks for your help. I forgot about that value signaling property. That was exactly what I needed.

Thanks again.
