Can I reset a control button programmatically? Specifically, I'm wanting to switch a Boolean button back to a false state in response to certain events/conditions. For example, consider the attached VI. (It is un-finished, because I don't know how to finish it.) The user can make the counter count by clicking the count button. What I want to do is stop the counter at some number (10) and reset the count button, so the user has to re-click for a new count.

This is one of those times some additional functions can be your friends. Events, Property nodes and Feedback nodes should be loaded into any developer tool-box ready to replace the "Screw-Hammer" when a better tool exists. Count Value change event selects either -1 or 100 for timeout Stop value change sets the exit condition I renamed Count (I32) to Counts since its not very good to have two objects with the same label EDIT: I think he wanted the "Count" button to remain pressed in- I read that too since the true string is "Counting" Still the Local is less desirable since a Val(Signalling) can be beneficial in this case

That's OK. I Ran it. count stays true until Counts = 10 then counting stops and Count goes fasle.

"Should be" isn't "Is" -Jay
