How to generate event on other control within one event

Question

Hello
I am using event structure.
When program is inside the event case of one control, I want to trigger the �mouse down� event on another control at that time (without operating that another control),
so that next time, another control�s event is called.
I have many controls and hence thrir event cases , after which I want to trigger a specific event case corresponding to a button control.
(I wish to keep the contents of button2 case inside the event only)
In attached example:
When user clicks �button 1� or �button 3�, event must be generated so that contents of �button 2� event are executed when program comes there next time
Thanks

Answer 1

Sorry, I just noticed that you only use LabVIEW 6.1 where signaling properties are missing.
Here is a simple solution for LabVIEW 6.1:
- set all buttons to latch.
- set all button events to "value changed"
- merge the timeout event with event 2
In event cases 1 and 3 set timeout to zero, in all other cases to -1 (no timeout).
See attached example. I placed a 500ms wait.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .
