String field activates Wait for front panel activity

I want to cause a user to be logged out if there has been no front panel activity for an extended period of time.

 

If I click a string control once, a flashing cursor appears.  The flashing cursor is interpreted as a front panel event by the "Wait for front panel activity " VI.  Is it possible to filter a non event string cursor flashing?

Clicking on a string control IS a front panel activity, right?

 

("Wait for ..." is ancient (before event structures!), so I would recommend to use event structures instead.)

 

Just curious: Is the string set to update value while typing?

Hi Altenbach,

 

Thanks for your feedback.  The string is not set to "update while typing".

 

I want to monitor front panel activity on another VI, is there a way to monitor events of a different VI through an event structure?

Hey SeanJ,

 

Check out Can I Capture Events from the Front Panel of Another VI?, example code downloadable here.


Let us know how it goes, 

Rebecca
