resgister for event on multiple boolean refs

[TiTou]

Hi all,

Can anyone explain the broken wire in the attached vi?

LV2014SP1 64b

It seems that LabVIEW won't accept to register a value change event on a cluster containing more than 1 boolean control ref, unless there is also a non boolean control ref in the cluster.

Weird, no?

I was able to duplicate on LV 2015 32 bit.

Also, it seems to have something to do with the order of the cluster.  See:

The Mechanical Action plays a role here.

Change to "switch" rather than "latch" and all variations work.

Try adding a cluster to array in the broken case as a work around

Hi!

OEM_Dev seems to be right. Using a build array instead of a build cluster function helps to workaround.

I will look a little closer at the issue and file a CAR if necessary.

Steve,

Shouldn't it work whatever the mechanical action? I think it should.

And :

1 switch : ok

1 latch : ok

1 switch & 1 latch : ok

2 switch & 1 latch : not ok

2 switch & 2 latch : not ok

2 switch & 2 latch & 1 num : ok

Christoph,

Replacing the build cluster with a build array confuses me... how do I do then to set my event structure to catch each separate value change?

Agreed. I just wanted to add a data point for investigators.

I don't use dynamic events much, but my understanding was that either an array or a cluster would be used to run a single event frame when the specified event happens on any of the specified controls.

Use the "CtlRef" output inside the structure to find out which one was pressed.  Here I use a "Search 1D array" to find the index, but you could also get the label text or use any other property node you feel like.
