Finding User Input from Array

[CarmineS]

I have an array (3x3) that is made up of clusters. Each cluster has numeric, string controls and indicators.

What I want to do is determine:

1. When the Operator makes a change to any of the array elements (easy enough using an event structure)

2. Determine what element int the cluster has changed.

So if I have the 3x3 array, made up of clusters (a control string, a ring, and a numeric):

When the operator changes the ring value, I need to which one changed?

Was it element 0,0 or element 1,3

Thanks

I would compare the previous array value to the changed value (equal with compare elements), reshape the resulting boolean array into a 1D array and use the Search 1D Array primitive.  From there, convert your index into the 2D index via the Quotient & Remainder.

It's not just the ring value.

Let me rephrase the question.

There is an array of 9 clusters being displayed on the GUI. Some operator makes a change to an element in a particular cluster of the array.

So: Out of the 9 clusters, I need to know which of the 9 ckusters got changed AND which element "in the cluster" changed.

I told you how to find out which cluster changed.  You can then index out the cluster (old and new) and perform the same trick.

Store your old values into a shift register (using an FGV) and compare to the new.  When a change occurs, update the FGV.

Or the event structure gives you the old value when using the value change event.

Yes, the OP evidently knows about this.  I was just giving another option.
