WHERE IS THE EVENT STRUCTURE IN THE FUNCTION PALLETE?

[Coop]

I am using LabVIEW Express 7.0 and I can not find the event structure inside functions pallete...
I have used it so many times before and I know it exists but where exactly I can find it.
It is not at the same place where the rest of the structures are (while, for, sequence etc).

Thanks,
P.C.

If you use the "express palette view", it will not be under "execution control" like some of the other structures. You need to go to "all functions...Structures". There is also a second instance in "application control...events".

Of course if you only have the base package, you won't have the event structure (See http://www.ni.com/labview/how_to_buy.htm#compare ).

Well I double checked all the places and it is not there.
As the matter of fact, I copy-pasted the event structure from some other vi that I have built before and when I went on help for the event structure and then tried to find it by clicking the button that finds it in the function pallete I received the message saying "Object not found". Then it says it might not be supported in the execution target currently selected. Then it says to go to Operate>>Select Execution Target but when I went to Operate I could not find "Select Execution Target" option.
My guess is that somebody did not install labview properly and few functions are therefore missing...
I am gonna have to further explore what is exactly going on ...

thanks for fast reply,
P.C.

Which system of LabVIEW do you have? LabVIEW Base and probably Student
Edition wont allow editing the event structure. They can however run it
if an application created in another version uses them.
