Naming groups of events

[matt.baker]

I would like to name a group of events so that they appear as a child group of "Dynamic" events in the Edit events window.

For custom user events I can do the following to put them into a child group called "My group of events":

  

However, if I have references to front panel objects which I then register for events, I have no idea how to put them into a single group.

How can I cluster them like the previous example?

 

I'm sure this has probably been asked before, but can't find any previous posts that answer this.

Thanks

Matt

I think we can directly connect the cluster to Register events and which should be shown as what you expected in the first case.

Thanks for the suggestion udka

Do you mean like this?

Unfortunately I need multiple event types (Value Change and Mouse Leave). Directly connecting the cluster only allows me to choose one common event. Do you know of another way?

Thanks

Hi Matt

Not sure if this helps you achieve what you're looking to do, but you can cluster the references and feed these into both Value Change / Mouse Leave events.They then appear under Dynamic -> 'My group'.

Cheers

Of course re-clustering the references doesn't achieve much other than change the cluster name ... doh !

Thanks NeilR.

I ideally wanted to avoid redundant events and have them in a single group. I get the feeling this isn't going to be possible with front panel object events.

The main reason for this was implementing a Passive Model View Presenter design pattern. Each view would have a set of exposed events that the presenter could subscribe to. However, thinking more about this, I should create a custom event for each event that I may need to handle so that duplicate/overidden/alternative views are not limited to the same control type as the base view. The group naming problem is then solved as well.
