LabWindows/CVI Idea Exchange

Hello,

I just discovered a strange and unexpected behavior of EVENT_VAL_CHANGED which requires that I will have to double check all my previous software written in CVI...

For some reason I have assumed that if the EVENT_VAL_CHANGED is triggered on a numeric control the new value will be different from the old one. This may not be true - the value may be still the same!

Since for more experienced users this seems to be a well-known fact I doubt that NI will call it a bug, hence I am suggesting an improved behavior : Please, for numeric controls, fire the EVENT_VAL_CHANGED event only if the numeric value has changed...

(Right now, if the numeric control displays 1.0000 and I enter '1 ENTER' the value remains the same (at least), but the EVENT_VAL_CHANGED event is triggered...)

Thanks

PS: Also the documentation seems to be misleading: It (in CVI2010) states:

The EVENT_VAL_CHANGED event is generated continuously while the user is performing an ongoing action which results in the value of a control changing.

Would it be possible to allow ".." to be used as a "Custom Copy Directory" in the "Target Settings" dialog box (for dynamic link library projects)?  Or in other words, I would like the ability to specify that the Custom Copy Directory should always be one up from the project directory.  That way this functionalty won't break when I rename the directory or move the project between computers where the complete path is not the same.  A similar thing would also be handy in the "Specify Executable to Debug" dialog box.  Thanks.
