Single Event in Event Case

[User002]

I want to cause a single event in each event case during the initialization of a program.  Is there a good way to do this?

I want to programmatically do this, so that the user is unaware that this happened.

Hi JBSLab,

you may use "Value (signal)" property nodes when your event structure is detecting value change signals...

Hey GerdW -

I'm not sure that's what I want.  To describe this better....

I'm trying to change some scales on a few front panel controls in an event structure.  The user loads a "configuration" file which preloads the scale values.  I don't want the user to have to cause an event to happen before the scales are updated.   I just want the each case to run one time after the user loads the "configuration" file.

If that's the case, why not just have it happen in line, caused by data flow?  After the user loads the config file, wire the data to a SubVI or something else that can update whatever needs updating

Thats exactly what Gerd suggestion will do.

Load your configuration in one event and write the new values to signaling value properties of all values that typically trigger their own event. Use the error cluster to determine in which order the events should be queued up.

Had to think about it for awhile, but ended up being super easy.  Thanks for the help!
