Detect if Time Stamp control user dialog has been pressed

[_thomas]

Hi,

I have to make some changes to my project. I can't modify existing program blocks, so I must figure out a way to detect if user has pressed  user dialog icon for setting up time (control type is Time Stamp). I now I can compare current values with the values from previous loop pass, but that is not a option.

I'm looking for some kind of property node like active control or something similar.

There isn't.  You can create your own time stamp control (like an XControl), or you can simply monitor to see if the window appears. You can do the latter using the VI Server functions or you can use the operating system API. For Windows you can use the LabVIEW Windows Utilities library.
