locked panel using event structure

[larson09]

Hi!

I'm using an event structure block to run a sequence only when a value of a control has changed.....when I edit this event I set the option NOT to lock the front panel.

When I run the vi's I can change the controls of the front panel......but all the code outside of the event structure block does'nt run....what i have to do?

I've attached a simple example.....boolean2 can change his value but the code is not executed

Thanks in advance

hi there

the while-loop waits for all the code contained in it to finish until it turns again. the event-structure has no time-out case defined, so if "Boolean" dosn't change it waits eternally. that's why the "Boolean 2" seems to be locked, because this code is not executed any more until the next turn of the while loop.

add a timeout-event (event source = Application) and connect the event timeout (e.g. 100 ms). be aware that the reaction to a change of "Boolean 2" takes up to timeout ms. another option is to put the code inside the timeout-case.

best regards
chris
