Programmatically trigger cursor release?

[mkabatek]

Hello,

I am using the Actor Framework to develop a large application in LabVIEW. I have cursors on a graph that trigger data to be populated into actors using an event structure and a cursor release event. The data is also populated (initialized) when the program starts.

I currently accomplish this initialization using a structure below, and a value change event on the 'Init' Boolean:

The problem with using the "init" Boolean is that I duplicate the same code within two events: "init":Value Change and "graph":Cursor Release events (the two event do the exact same thing).  Does anyone know a slick way combine these the Init event with the cursor release event so that the cursor release event fires on startup? This way I would not have to duplicate my code in two places...

I have searched and didn't find exactly what I needed, Sorry if this has been covered somewhere in the forum.

Where will your common code run? In the Event Structure? Could you just register for both events:

Or register the event separately to send it to the nested actor:

Hi Todd,

The code will run in the event structure. Thank you very much!! I didn't realize you could register multiple events to call the same code!
