multi select using shift button or whatever....

[seafood]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a 2D array, this is how I want input the elements:

              I have a 8 buttons built on the front panel. To write the first row, I want to click on the corresponding button while keep pressing the SHIFT or CTRL key down. Then release the shift key and press it again to input the second row....

How can I do that? Is there any function or example vi from which I can get some idea?

Thanks a lot

Hi seafood,

look at the event structure examples...

Using event structure you can check the state of the shift/ctrl-key easily as well as the numerous buttons on your front panel.
