Trouble triggering the event structure with the "time has elapsed" boolean on the elapsed time function

I have been unable to use the elapsed time function's output "time has elapsed" to trigger a subsequent event in the event structure.  Is this possible?  I have no trouble using the event structure when the triggering event is a boolean control.  I have attached my VI.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Writing to a control does not trigger an event. You can create a property node and write to the Value Signaling property. But the event structure has a timeout case. You could put your code in there and write the number of milliseconds to the blue hourglass in the upper left hand corner of the event structure.
