how to detect "bring to center" cursor event in graph

[BVSmith]

I have an XY graph where I update a table of the values of data on the graph when the user moves the cursor.

I would like to detect when the user chooses the "Bring to Center" from the cursor menu but there doesn't seem to be an event case for that.

I already have a case for "Cursor Move", "Cursor Grab" and "Cursor Release", but none of those handles the "Bring to Center".

Short of putting a button near the graph to bring the cursor to the center and updating my table then, is there any way to detect this?

Thanks.

When looking at the events for the event structure, click your graph, expand the "Shortcut Menu" and choose "Cursor Menu Selection". This event gives you the item tag, APP_SC_CURSOR_BRING_TO_CENTER is the tag for "Bring to Center". Filter within the event for that tag and you should be good to go.

Hello Charles,

Thanks for writing.

There are three options in the Edit Events dialog:

Cursor Menu Selection? (App)

Cursor Menu Selection (App)

Cursor Menu Selection (User)

I tried all three but none is called when I select Cursor/Bring to Center.

This is LV 2011 f2.

Interesting, apparantly they added that in 2012. I do not see it on 2011 either but it is definitely there in 2012.

Ok, we're going to 2012 (on our 100 installations) in a few weeks.

We can wait until then for this 🙂

Thanks again.
