Creating a new Event in event structure

[Somil]

Hi

Can i create any event on my own in the event structures? For instance, one can always find the key down and key up events in the structures!!

But what if i want to create a new event such as add/remove hardware in it? Is it possible?

Hi Somil,

when should the event occur?

You can use UserEvents. See this link for more information:

The event is attachment or removal of some hardware to the pc

Hi Somil,

what type of hardware is it? Is it an usb device?

Mike

[Somil]

It can be any!!!

OK, let it be a USb device

Hi Somil,

if it is an usb device, then windows sends a message to all windows. I'm not sure for other hardware.

I guess, whenever a new hardware is attached , a "found new hardware " message comes. Wont that be enough to trigger event structure?

[MikeS81]

Hi Somil,

if you can get this message in your vi, then it's enough to trigger your user event. I think there is normally no event like this implemented, so you have to use user events.

Oh, ok.

One thing more i wanted to ask regarding dynamic events

I read about those in the link you had provided but wasnt able to get a clear picture. Can you please tell me about  them

Hi Somil,

see the attached picture as an example.

If you use LabVIEW 2009, then you should be able to insert the picture into your vi, to get the code.
