ending a loop when a controller's value changes

[dzac]

Dear All !

I have a while loop with only 1 num. controller. When the user changes the value in it - in whatever way - , i would like the loop to end.

I couldn't find a way. I looked for something like a "ValueHasChangedPropertyNode" boolean, but found nothing. The only thing i could do is have a STOP button next to the control and after changing the value i have to press the STOP.

...Which i dont like.. please help, thank you,

Hi Laszlo,

either you use an event structure with a "value change" event for that numeric control or a shift register keeping the value from last iteration and a simple "unequal" comparison...

This is pretty basic. Have you attended the free online courses on NI's website (academics section)?

GerdW is right...

if you go into labviews examples and search event it will bring up a couple of examples of the event structure being used and how to use it
