automatic control

[Doran]

Hi all ,

I have labview 7.1 ,

Is there anyway to create a new event to the event structure  while a vi is running ?

The reason i want to this because my main vi has several controls but in the future i want the program to grow ,

Without touching the vi.

Any idea will be appericated

No you cannot add events, inorder to do that you would have to edit the vi and the event structure. there may be a way to do this with scripting but I would not go that route because it will probably be broken in the next release.

You cant add functions (without scripting, not suggested) but you can anticipate the use and have a plugin architecture.  Essentially you add the event case handle, leave it blank except have a dynamic function call.  This will be a dummy function, it does nothing.  You should be able to deploy this main vi and change the subvi at a later date without touching the main code.  Its not the best solution but is probably better than nothing if you need a solution.
