IMAQ image updates

[shivels]

Hi,

I have a strange problem I have been unable to solve.  I create 2 images to be displayed on the front panel using the IMAQ create image.  I then read in one image as a reference image and display it on the front panel.  My vi then waits until a folder is updated with a new picture and also displays the new picture on the front panel.  While the vi is running, if my mouse moves over the reference image, the image changes to the current imaging being displayed from the updatd folder.  The reference image is displayed on the front panel in a sequence before the program enters a while loop waiting for the updated images to display.  The only way I was able to prevent the reference image from changing was to use the Dispose vi after displaying the reference image to the screen.  Is there any kind of "lock command" or mouse event command I can use to prevent the reference image from being updated when the mouse is moved over it?

Hi Adam,

Thanks for posting on the NI forums.  Will you post your code so that I can try and reproduce the problem on my end?

Thanks,

Hi,

I was able to fix the problem by moving a property node which updated the current folder image.  I am still a little uncertain as to why a completely different property node in a completely different sequence would affect a different image on the front panel, but at least its working now.

Thanks for the help,

Adam
