Handling front panel buttons within an Event structure

[AdamHZ]

Is there an easy way to handle front panel buttons inside an event structure? I'm currently using an event structure to pop up a settings tab, but I only can use  buttons that are designated as events. Is there a way to use non-event buttons to run a setup and calibration sequence inside of an event structure?

I'm not sure I understand your question. From what you describe you should look into a producer consumer architecture where your event loop receives an event then off-loads the work to be done to the consumer loop. This keeps your Event loop free to receive events. LabVIEW 2012 ships with a good example of this, the Queued Message Handler template project.

I'll try that out
