Suggested Feature: Add event case number data node

[Larry_Stanos]

The Source data node in an event structure is too vague to be of much practical use.  (Values are LabVIEW UI, ActiveX, User Event, and <Other>...)  A data node containing the event case number would be very useful to the developer wishing to merge the event case number into error messages.  I hope this feature can be incorporated into a future version of LabVIEW.

Thanks!

I'm not sure an Event Case number even exists and I think the name of the event and the event type would provide more usefule information. That can easily be done with something like the attachment.

Thanks Dennis!

I think your suggestion to return the event type and Label.Text property of CtlRef is indeed better than returning just the case number because it is more specific when an event case is set up to handle more than one event.  Thanks!  I suppose having the case number (shown in gray square brackets in your picture) would only help the developer locate the case a little more quickly in a long list of event cases.
