conditional for loop will not read control in an event case

[hounddog]

I made a simple conditional for loop, with a timer and a random number generator in the loop as well as a stop button attached to the conditional stop  terminal.  All works well, and the loop stops when I click on the stop button. But I then envelope the conditional for loop with an event structure and create an event to run the conditional for loop.

To my surprise, when I run this modified VI I can never get the loop to stop via the button wired to the conditional stop terminal.  How is this happening? And how do I get around this?

Who knows?  A picture is worth a thousand words, and a VI is worth even more.

If you attach your VI to your message, we can see what you are doing rather than trying to decode it based on your written description.

edit the event case>>UNCHECK Lock Front panel until case finishes (or whatever that text actually states in the lower left corner of the edit event pop-up)

OK, here is a code capture tool image of the block diagram and the front panel.

Really-  Uncheck the radio button (And having a 100 second long event case is not really a good idea. )

Heh.. I have a program with up to a 47 hour event case! And no I didn't write it. And yes I am replacing it.
