LabVIEW
LabVIEW for Everyone, 3rd edition is now shipping!
Having NOT read anything on the event structure, my curiosity was peeked by the code "Event Tracking.VI" (found in Examples\general\uievents.llb" see page 595 of Jim's book).
The enum labeled "type" has all of the "Types" of events defined.
I never was quite sure what to do with the "Type" property.

I would like to add my voice in congratulating Jim and Jeffery for their book. I got mine during NIWeek 
and have been reading it as I have had the time. Having read most of the LabVIEW books published since 1992, owning a large percentage of those as well, I have to say that I am really glad to have gotten this one as it has stuff in it even for a veteran LabVIEW wirer.
As a secondary comment to one of Jim's responses to a future CLD exam taker ("and how to utilize on of these design patterns to quickly develop a working application"), you need to be very comfortable with rapidly creating the solution to the presented problem. It is a very good idea to look on the NI site for the previous problem types, and try and come up with a clean, working, commented solution without looking at the given answers. The problem that many seem to have with the exam is first determining a method to solve the given problem, then actually producing the code. Be familiar with the current environment, more than likely at least the 8.0 development environment, as you will not have time to look for the tool/function in an unfamilar palette. If you have access to Jim and Jeffery's book, pay particular attention to the call outs, then try them out.

Looks like its been brought right up to date but I didn't notice any topic on remote operation. Still looks like it would be worth getting a copy.

Are you still in school? You might also want to look into the LabVIEW 8.0 Student edition to see of you qualify. Quote from the Order Page
Note: The LabVIEW Student Edition is available to students, faculty, and staff for personal educational use only. It is not intended for research, institutional, or commercial use.
Sorry, I am not a lawyer, but it seems you're using it for studying, not for commercial use. Check with NI if this is an option. 🙂
