Tree control vs. string control: "value changed" timing race?

[altenbach]

Well, I thought these controls were numerics. If they are strings, you can set them to "update while typing" and you should have no problems.

Unfortunately the actual program uses all different types, including DAQmx tasks and typedef'd enums, so that's only a partial solution. That said, I didn't know such a thing existed. I'll keep that in mind for future projects.

Success!

Adding a shift register to hold the "current" value of the tree did the trick! Hopefully this can be useful to someone else looking to make a more flexible configuration VI.

If I can actually get the VI to post...nope have to change the extention to a txt.  Change it back to VI after downloading it.

The shift register works like a charm.  I went ahead and did a few other cleanups while I was at it.
