I'm working my way through CLD practice exams. Right now I'm on the car wash. I'm choosing not to include code or screen shots because this issue doesn't really seem to be related to my overall program and I think it would overcomplicate the question, but I can include them if needed.
I'm just barely getting started on this one and I noticed that the "wash options" typedef (given with the problem) is unresponsive when the program is running. It doesn't seem to matter where I place the typedef in the code (right now the general structure is a simple state machine, so a case structure inside a while loop). It doesn't matter if the typedef is inside the case structure, inside the while loop, or outside the while loop. I even tried creating a completely separate/unrelated while loop that executes before the rest of the code and it doesn't work there either so I suspect that there is a setting in the typedef that is causing this behavior but I'm not finding anything.
What I mean by "unresponsive" is that I can click all the buttons and they visibly change positions on the front panel before I run the program. Then, when the program is running, if I click them nothing happens. But if I make my selections before clicking run, the rest of the program behaves as it should (it reads the states of the buttons properly).
I reviewed how this typedef is used in the solution and didn't find anything meaningful there (but it works on my version of LabVIEW so doesn't seem to be an issue with that). I'm not sure why it works in the solution and not in my program that I'm building.
If you need more info, please let me know -- I'm just hoping that this will be obvious to someone and is a simple settings issue.
