can event structures be used w/o property nodes?

[vats]

I want to know if there can be programming done using event structures but without using property nodes. My prgm has buttons and should be selected exclusively

Property Nodes really have nothing to do with Event Structures.

Property Nodes either Read from or Write to the various properties of the linked control/indicator. Event Structures react to an action from a control/indicator.

Drop an event structure and a single boolean button inside of it, configure the structure to the Value Change event for the button and hit run. The program will run, but the structure will stop the program until you click the button to run the event case, no property nodes required.

If this is not what you are referring to, provide a few more details and we'll se what we can do.

Thanks for the reply.
I am enclosing the prgm where I need a help. I have used property nodes in the case structure so that booleans when hit is read by labview.
I however do not want to make use of property nodes instead do it by some other method that would still have a control on the buttons in the front panel.
the aim of the code is to write the answers selected into a file. Pls run the prgm and you'd get an idea.

You are using property nodes to do 2 things:
1. Reset the unselected booleans. Dont need property nodes to do this, you can use local variables instead

2. Determine which button was selected. You could avoid property nodes here by creating a separate event for each button

I believe this will do what you are asking. The program was changed to store text instead of numbers but you can apply the same methods and store numeric answers instead.
