Why does "open vi reference" wait for "mouse up"?

Hello,
I need to dynamically load a reentrant subvi as soon as the user hit's a button. I'm using an event structure which I dynamically register for processing a "value change" event. Inside the even structure I placed an "open vi reference" vi. I set it's options to "8" to prepare the subvi for reentrant run and the program steps into the event case as expected. The problem is, that "open vi reference" doesn't execute before the mouse button is released.
Is there any possibility to get "open vi reference" to execute while the mouse button is still pressed? (lock front panel... is disabled, "mouse down" event doesn't work either, static vi reference is not possible because I need several instances of the subvi).
Any idea would be welcome.
Thanks in advance,
C. Halbgewachs

There is something strange here, that has the smell of a bug...
The mouse down event is detected as soon as the event occurs, but the corresponding case is NOT processed entirely if the mouse button is kept pressed.
Most operations are immediately executed, EXCEPT the Open vi ref, or the File dialog vi, and probably some others...
For the File Dialog, this is normal, since a dialog window has to be opened (interaction with the operator) while the operator is still acting on the button.
But that's not normal for the Open vi ref.
First I thought that this hads something to do with file management or disk access. Wrong : Files are opened and read immediately.
The attached vi demonstrate this strange behaviour.
Enjoy !

    It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
    This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?

  • Why does my Premiere Elements 10 for mac freeze?

    Why does my Premiere Elements 10 for mac freeze (makes spinning circle loading) and doesn't stop when I am asked to select my country/region? I already had trouble downloading it originally because there was an error downloading, and then the following image happens (note: the screenshot couldn't capture the spinning circle freeze, but just look at the "application not responding" message below):
    Why does this happen? I downloaded and opened photoshop elements 10 (that came with the bundle) fine, but I can't open this.
    For reference, I am using a mac book pro from 2012 that is 64bit on OS X 10.8.5.
    Edit: Also, for the aforementioned error that I was getting earlier when installing, I would try to install and then half way through it said that the download failed. I had to follow the second method to fix in this link:

    I do not think we are in sync yet, but I will need to sign off soon. It is about 1 am where I am.
    1. Not sure what you mean by 2 warranty licenses that the CD comes ith in the package.
    If you purchased the Premiere Elements 10 Mac in boxed packaging, then you should have an installation disc and a purchased serial number. You cannot lose that. You can install and reinstall the program when you need to do so. There is no limit on uninstalling or reinstalling. The only limit is Adobe allows you to have your purchased serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. We can talk about it some more if necessary but there is a distinction between Deactivate and Uninstall. There has not been a limit on Deactivations in years.
    Another approach if you think your installation files or disc is corrupt is to download tryout files from the following web site and then install from them and insert you purchased serial number at installation.
    http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    You have to read the Note: Very Important Instructions very carefully otherwise you end up with Access Denied.
    If you think that we are now in sync, then I would suggest
    a. Delete the preference file (settings file)
    or
    b. Deactivate, uninstall, ccleaner run through, reinstall as per your instructions that worked for you.
    I will be watching for further details in the morning. Hopefully some of the Premiere Elements Mac users will join the thread to give the Mac perspective to the situation.
    Thanks.

  • Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours

    Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours
    I just got the iphone 4s...I have had two other iphones in the past and they did not take this long to sync. This is my first time connecting it to my computer.

    8 hours later and it is reading "finishing sync" which I believe is past Step 5 and I have no idea when the "finish" will occur and am afraid to disconnect/interrupt the sync. The current version of itunes (11) is installed and syncing Microsoft Outlook (about 400 contacts, calendar, etc) for the first time.  What should I do next besides wait?

  • Why does Firefox have to beg for money, like the winos on the street ?

    Why does firefox have to beg for money, like winos on the street ? If I had the money to donate, I gladly would, but I'm disabled on a fixed income and cannot afford to give money to anyone. I ran my own websites a few times, and never once begged for money to pay for my websites. Do you think everyone just sits back on their stack of cash, watching for any vultures that come around ? I've used firefox for 10 years, but if I'm no longer wanted, I will leave. Should I skip a few meals so I can send you 10 dollars, or cancel my doctor's visit for next week ? Maybe I could rake some yards in the neighborhood and make some extra money ? Wait, I can't walk but about 5 minutes, darn ! I had already dropped firefox for this very reason, and I thought the begging would be over, but it's still here ! Even microsoft and google recommend firefox ! It's a great browser, but I just can't afford to give money away. Maybe I could stop feeding my cat, I've heard they can survive without a human's help ? One of us would likely start eating the other ! Here kitty kitty !

    You don't have to donate - just ignore the request and move on with your day.

    why does mac os keep asking for keychain password

    I'm getting this same problem. It seems random when it asks for the password, maybe every 3 or 4 days it'll ask when I plug it in at night. I've tried restoring from an older backup, which has not resolved the issue.

  • Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?

    Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?
    The same pictures in iPhone utilises half the storage space than in the iPad.

    Photos on the ipad should take up little  more space than It does on The iPhone because of the screen resolutions size.
    Keep in mind If the photos are being stored on the device by Photo stream they will Take up less Space or if The photo Are being store by itunes syncing they may take up a little more.

  • HT1725 Why does the download start again for the start. I only hve access to a 3G wifi connection so one tv episode had cost me about $10 I'm download costs because of several interruptions.

    Why does the download start again for the start. I only hve access to a 3G wifi connection so one tv episode had cost me about $10 I'm download costs because of several interruptions. Is there a way to change that?

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

  • HT5312 Why do I have to wait for someone to respond

    Why do I have to wait for someone to respond for me to receive a rescue mail this is unacceptable I am a first time buyer and don’t have time to remember all the sully password and security questions. This just come to show that that all the problems I have been having with my iPhone 5 just carries over to the poor  design of all Apple user products.
    I will never buy an apple product again!

    Ok, well thanks for sharing. I'm certain we will miss you.

  • A new tab always opens Yahoo versus wait for an address

    I downloaded an MP4 player and it did something to Mozilla such that every time I open a new tab it opens yahoo versus wait for a site address to find. How do I get rid of this nuisance?

    Hello Jack C. Anderson,
    this problem could probably be caused by a Firefox extension.
    To make sure that no extension is causing the problems,
    start Firefox in Safe Mode by following the instructions in the [[Safe Mode]] article.
