How to move a cluster with the mouse

[dj143]

I'd like the user to click a small cluster and drag it to alternate locations on the front panel of the vi.  Can this be done?  I'm using Win-XP and LV 8.5.1.

Hi Dave,

you can use an Event Structure. Use the Events mouse down, mouse move and mouse up. In these events you can change the cluster position with a property node.

Are you talking about moving the cluster during running or in edit mode?

• While in edit mode: just do it!
• While running: use Mike's idea. 🙂

In the run mode.  I'm sorry for not clarifying that.  Think of the cluster as a pop-up that the user can relocate by clicking and dragging the upper "blue bar."  Is there an example of how cursor control (or cursor location) can be used to dynamically relocate an object?

Open the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples). Search for "dynamic". Open the example called "Dynamically Register for Events". It's one way to do it.
