Hi Mathan

Thanks for the reply

I am going through the link that you have sent me.

By the time i finish, You please check this VI and tel me whats wrong with it? I have developed a VI to stop the Program execution if the mouse position changes. But nothing is happening.

Sorry forgot to attach the VI

[Harold_Timmis]

you can loose the for loop and put the mouse referance in the timout of the event

Hey harold.

Thanks for the VI

I had a query. Why the LED glows only when the Front panel window is active? If i select the Block diagram and then press the enter key, the LED no longer glows!!!

[Harold_Timmis]

possibly the reason,

it is registering that the active window is no longer the front panel which mean when you hit enter it is in referance to the block diagram and no longer the front panel due to the fact that the front panel is not the enter keys referance point.

If i wire the Horizontal position to time out, it wont be doing any good as it will just vary the time out for the Event!!!

Here is what i did

[Harold_Timmis]

not connect it to the timeout terminal put it inside the timeout event.
