Hello, I have a problem. I want to use one control to activate an event in a event structure, and the same control to terminate a while loop in that event.It is possible to use 2 controls to do this, but I need it to be only one. Thank you 🙂 Message Edited by Heinen on 02-19-2009 06:16 AMMessage Edited by Heinen on 02-19-2009 06:20 AM

You should NEVER place while loops inside event cases, and there is never a need to do so. Think about it: All you need to do is spin some code. You can easily use the outer while loop for everything. Simply place the inner loop code (without the inner loop) inside the timeout case and manipulate the timeout between a finite wait and infinity (-1), depending on the state of the boolean. Here's a very simple example (LV 8.0) Message Edited by altenbach on 02-19-2009 07:05 AM
