What is the best way to identify a control, ideally using a property node?

Hi everyone,
 
I am looking for a way to uniquely identify a control, most likely using a property node.  I want to have a single event case that responds to three events, all of which are identical, except they are from three different controls.  What I would ideally like to do is run the control reference into a case statement and generate the parameter to be used by the event case from that case statement, but unfortunately, this does not work.  I am looking at triggering from the CTRLREF that is provided to the event case.  This all stems from the fact that I can't change to different scales within an array if I have arrays of sliders (just a bit of a gripe there).
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
 
Jason

Hi Jason,

Can you use the Label.Text property of the three charts and have a case structure that keys off the labels of the charts?  This is the most common approach I've seen taken to the scenario you describe.
