How to capture when visa resource dropdown control is populated

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi all,

 

   I'm using a Visa Resource Name control  on my front panel.  This control can sometimes take several seconds to populate when a user first clicks the dropdown arrow.  I would like to set the busy cursor for the duration that this control is seeking for resources, but can't seem to find an event to determine when it's finished.

 

What I'm currently doing is using an event structure and have the mouse down event on this control configured to set the busy cursor when the user first clicks it.  Now i need a way to trigger an event to unset the cursor when it's done.

 

it's really just a cosmetic problem, but any suggestions would be great.

It seems like you can use the "Mouse Down" filter event on the VISA control to set the busy cursor and the regular "Mouse Down" event to release it.  Works in LV 2011.
