Edit Event in Event Structure should show the type of the selected source

[X.]

Of course there are many other desirable improvements (found by a simple search for "Event Structure" in the Idea Exchange forum).

One of them though would be a priori easily implemented with the floating Help Window (contextual Help): show the source (control) type as a basic help for the programmer to figure out whether "Binning" is the Boolean which select a binning option or the actual I32 value of the chosen bin increment (in the example below taken from what I am working on right now):

From that so-not-graphical list of control names, I have absolutely no clue. Sometimes the list of events might give me a clue, but not always.

This is just the beginning of a long list of additional information that would be helpful, but let's start with something really simple.

I like the help window version.

Adding some kind of indication in the edit box may be useful if it does not clutter up an already busy box.

The text of the Control in the 'Event Sources' list could be colored the same as the color of the terminal on the block diagram. Or perhaps preceeded with the terminal icon.
