Make all Events work like USER/Dynamic events

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 8 kudos within 8 years after posting will be automatically declined.

With User events we can wire up the dynamic event terminal with null references to essentially switch off the event during run-time.  This is a great piece of functionality which unfortunately is NOT available for "static" Events (defined within the Event structure itself).

 

I would like very much to be able to set the refnum for a STATIC event to a null reference in order to switch off the STATIC events at run-time, essentially makiing it a Dynamic event.

 

I know we can link to any object within the VI server hierarchy at run-time and use this to generate dynamic events so why can't we have the extra functionality of USER/Dynamic events for the standard events?

 

In order to maintain compatibility with existing code, how about adding an additional Terminal to the Event Strucutre "Static Event terminal" which exposes the same functionality as the USER Events for the events defined within the Event strucutre.

 

Shane.
