LabView register chracter on key release

[BoRo]

Hi,

I'm using labview for a current project dealing with keyboard input into a string control box.  But my boss however wants to get rid of the property that when you press and hold a key down, it will only register as one key.

i.e. key [a] held down = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'

     End result desired = 'a'

I can't find an existing property, even any ideas on how to approach this problem would be deeply appreciated!

Use the event structure to register for the Key Repeat? event for the control (note the ?, it's a filter event). This will provide you with a terminal on the right side of the event case which allows you to discard the event.
