Event Structure with Event source: <This VI> and Event: Mouse Up

Try this.

Thank you! Actually I did try it that way, too, but I couldn't see the Mouse Up, see the attached screenshot. Where did you get it from? Is it copy/pasted from some older version?

You can wire a ref of the numeric control to get the mouse up-event and then change the ref.

That works but sounds like a bug (uhmmm, I mean "Feature")

Not having the event option in 2010 (where i checked it) can also be considered a bug, so let's call it even. 😉

Hi Yamaeda, if I try that with a structure freshly created in LV2012, the event input switches back to defaults, and the mouse up event is gone. I tried the same with Pauls structure, and it seemed to work a couple of times, but now -even after restarting LV- I can't reproduce it. Spooky. I tried re-wiring as well as "Link to" to switch from the slider ref (which has Mouse Up) and the This VI ref. So I still suspect that the Register for Events node somehow inherits functionality from an older LV version, until it becomes updated to LV2012. Or so...

The MouseUp event for a VI reference was 'removed' (I think when they added panes).  In order not to break old VIs that use it, they just removed it from the menu choices; it still exists under the hood.  I have a (dangerous) utility that let's me mess with the properties of practically anything.  I used it to change the Register For Events node.

I would not mind that in a PM attachment

[paul_cardinale]

I'll think about it.  I am reluctant to post dangerous code.  It can leave LabVIEW in an unstable state.

Trust me:)

I understand dangerous.  PM or e-mail

I thought you had a few tricks up your sleve
