button listener

[analog]

I modified Dan's button listener program to have buttons DELETE, DELETE ALL, and ADD ALL. There is a bug in that if you hit buttons A, B, and C before you hit DELETE, DELETE ALL, and ADD ALL, the program adds A, B, and C to the output of DELETE, DELETE ALL, and ADD ALL. Is there a way to fix this so that when the user hit A, B, or C and then hit DELETE, or DELETE ALL, or ADD ALL, it will only do the corresponding functions and forget about A, B, and C? I tried to do two event structures, one with the INSERT button and buttons A, B, C; and the other event structure with buttons DELETE, DELETE ALL, and ADD ALL, but this doesnt seem to work. Thanks.

I figured it out :-P, just add another shift register to the while loop and let that shift register keep track of the A, B, and C buttons while the original shift register keep track of INSERT, DELETE, DELETE ALL, and ADD ALL 🙂

just FYI, 2 event structures in the 1 while loop is not recommended....if
you wanted to trigger another event in sequence, then you can dynamically
call events....

Excellent thread! Can somebody convert these vi's to 6.0.2 for me?

These vi's utilize Event Structures which are only available in LV 6.1 and
above...
