difference between event structure and case structure

[Robin Hood]

Hi, can anyone tell me the diference between an even structure and a case structure with an example.

Hi RobinHood,

did you read the online help to both topics?

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview-api-ref/page/structures/event-structure.html

No Mike.I didn't.

They didn't specifically mention any differences. can you just make out any differences with one example.

Your help is well appreciated

There are many differences between a case structure and an event structure.

In simple words,

An event structure is used to handle user events. For example click of a button, closing a pane, value change of a tree. (Which just needs an addition of a event case in the event structure, whereas you might have to code a bit more with different architecture using a case structure) 

A case structure is used handle conditioned states like TRUE/False, number within range or no, error/No error. (Which are not possible to perform with an event structure.) 

I guess the links mentioned by other posters here is quite good enough to get started with these structures.

Besides using the help that comes with LabVIEW, you might want to look at the menus and then go to Help>Find Examples.
