edit array element value without using keyboard

[KSU Flyer]

I have a control array on my front panel, say 1D, 10 elements.

In addition, this front panel is to be used with a touch screen monitor, so I have a keyboard subvi that should be called when I pick one of the array elements.  Therefore, no keyboard entry is allowed.

My question is, how do I determine which element the user has touched/clicked? ...and how do I edit this value?

Nevermind gents, figured out a way to do it...not sure if it's the best way, but got it.

In my event structure, I have an event looking for the Mouse Down event with regard to the control array.  This event triggers my touch screen keyboard subvi to fire, and when the subvi closes I pass its value to the ArrElem.Value property to assign the element of the array touched/clicked.  Works.

The LAVA Code Repository has an Array Point To Row Column VI that I use for this.
