Is it possible to have an event inan event structure which is not triggered by front panel objects?

Hi

I currently have a state machine residing in a event structure.

just wonder if i could trigger the event structure through other means so i can do without the state machine.

i tried changing the value of control/indicator and use 'value changed' to trigger the event but does not seem to work that way.

anyone ever tried to create such a hybrid event structure/state machine?

Change the value of the control/indicator by writing to the Value(signaling) property instead of just writing to the control itself.  Right click on the control and select Create - Property.  Click on the property node and select Value(signaling).  This will programatically fire an event that is set for value change.

Hi tbob!

Thanks! it works beautifully. I am pretty anal when it comes to making my VI neat and tidy. this will save me much space.

In addition, the string control/indicator will indicate the status nicely.
