passing data around in labview

[Tim_C.]

Goal

To generate a piece of data in an event and then use that data elswhere in my code

The only way I know of doing this is to make an indicator, then make it invisible

and then either reference the control via a property node or local variable.

Is there anyway to store the data without using an invisble control or indicator?

Thanks

If the data to transfer is not that big, you can use queque or notifier to transfer the data.  This is useful when you apply the Producer-Consumer pattern in you code, where you use queue or notifier to transfer settings between the producer and consumer loop.

You can also use a functional global, i.e. a VI storing the data in an un-initialized shift register.

And don't forget the event structure. You can generate your own event to post data to an eventstructure.
