Find event cases triggered by control or indicator?

Solved!
Go to solution

I have a project with several event cases in several separate while loops. Some of these cases react to the same, for example, value change trigger, and then they do whatever they were set to do.

 

I was wondering if there was an easy way to find which event structures have events/cases for a particular control or indicator? Like, when I right click on a control, I can find its terminal or local variables or property/method nodes, but I cannot find events that trigger on something occuring with the control.

 

I do know that I can do a text search and just seek out the literal words of the title of the control/indicator, but I was hoping for something more elegant.

 

Thanks.

Sorry, there’s nothing built in that will do that.

There is nothing build-in but there is a shortcut menu plug-in:

Should also work for multiple event structures in one VI.

Much appreciated, thanks. This looks like the best solution from what I've googled, and it seems to work well enough.

I use this so often, I forgot that it's not built-in.....
