How to handle main vi short cut menu event in subvi

Question

I am making a thin GUI with a subVI to handle all the events including top VI UI events. I can get most of the events working but not with the short cut menu events. What I did was to pass the top VI control reference to a subVI and then registered for dynamic event. The event refnum is then passed on to another subVI next to it with the actual event structure where the top VI control's short cut event was handled. (using two separate subVIs definitely helped clean up the code, and I don't suspect it is the problem as other events worked fine in this structure)
After not able to get it to work, I also tried to register the dynamic event inside the event structure of the 2nd subVI mentioned above, which still not working. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I do have another problem related to handling top VI events in a subVI:  as my top VI controls were set as "Latch When Released", they cannot be located inside the event structure anymore, the result is that even though I can have their events correctly handled, those controls will stay pressed and not returning to the latch state as previously when I had the event structure located in the top VI itself.
As I have to many controls, I dont want to change their mechanical action state and just wish to have an easier solution. Thanks.
