Triggering an event on a picture created with LV Scripting

[LordSnow]

Hi,

I have a VI that is creating a scripted VI with a couple of pictures in it, opens the front panel and executes the scripted VI. Now I want to trigger an event by clicking on one of the pictures. I thought I might be able to do that using the mouse modifiers property node, but it looks like the VI does not react on events on the scripted VI's front panel.

If anyone had any idea on how to proceed I would really appreciate it.

Not sure I fully understand what you're trying to do, maybe if you post some code it would get clearer.

What sort of "picture" is on the scripted VI's front panel? A picture control of simply an image place on the front panel (that would then be a FP decoration).

If you want to generate a programatic mouse click, you can do it using user32.dll, see this :

Or if the scripted VI is running and has an event structure set to catch a mouse click on a certain FP control, maybe you could simply open a ref to that FP control and use a value (signaling) property node so that the event catches it.

Hope this helps
