event not trriggering

[Rhayes]

I have made a sub VI that communicates with a devicenet device, I need to send it explicit messages once in a while so I created a button and when this button is pressed the message gets sent out. if I press this button from inside the Sub VI then the event triggers but if I press the button that is in the main VI (linked through a terminal on the Sub VI) the event does not trigger even though I can see the button in the sub VI change state.
How can I get it to recognise this button press?

Hi Ron,

you should use dynamic events and distribute those to the  subvi.
I've seen some on this board, search for 'events' and 'subvi'  there is one with screenshots on how to arrange this
What do you mean by 'linked through a terminal'? is this a reference to the control?

succes and let me know,

Ton
