controlling radio buttons with an event structure

[Soleil20]

Hello,

I am trying to get an equal event in an event strucutre as I programmed ago on year. But now I can't find it.

I have radio buttons on my frontpanel. These I added previously to my event structure as you can see in the Blockdiagram.PNG with "Radio Buttons.Projekt-Button":Value Change. But now I wanted to do the same again by adding a new case to the structure and I am not able to select a certain element of the radio buttons. I can only choose the radio buttons as the whole group like you can see in the Blockdiagram.PNG.

Does anyone has a suggestion for me, how to get the same again?

Best regards,

Hi Soleil,

"Radiobuttons" act as just one control regardless of the number of the buttons in it: it's datatype is an enum!

So you can only have one ValueChange event. To know which button has been pressed you need to evaluate the current value of your radiobutton…

Edit:

Well, you might create a reference for each button in the radiobutton. Then you can register events for each single button, but I still think using the event for the radiobutton itself is easier…

Hi GerdW,

I know this fact. But I am sure, that I was able to select "Radio Buttons.Projekt-Button" of adding an event case. And now, as you can see, I only get the whole Enum.

Hi Soleil,

did you use a cluster of several buttons before?

With a cluster you can create events for cluster elements! (Also the syntax is like in your image "Cluster label", point, "Cluster element name"…)

Hi Gerd,

thanks that you helped me. I found the solution.
First I had several buttons like you mentioned. For these buttons I added event cases. Then I found the radio buttons and chose to get them into the radio buttons cluster. And the event case automatically changed from "element":"value change" to "radio button" "point" "element" : "value change".
