number pad control

Use the mouse down event. You can find some tutorials on events by searching the site.

And in my experience it is usually better to set the control's enabled state to disabled (1) so it doesn't get the focus when you click it.

sweet I will go that direction. Is there also an alternative to an even structure? Thanks

The one reason I ask is how will this work if the even structure is in sub vi called by a main vi?

I've done this both with and without an event structure and am regularly using the more recent version (the one with events).

*NEW* *IMPROVED* Event structure! Now with *EVENTS*

Read the answers to this questions which you have already asked! YES!#^$%&@*

You can even handle events in the subVI for the main VI controls by dynamically registering for events, but the easiest thing is to have the subVI jump to the front and return the string once you're done. Go read a tutorial on this!

Try the event structure "mouse down event". This would do what you want.
