Update values in loop after pressing OK without leaving control

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

in a loop a string-control can be changed until the ok-button is clicked. This works.

But the button is also assigned to toggle with the Return-key.

But now the output is not updated any more.

Is there a workaround?

 

Thx

On my machine there is the same behaviour with or without the toggle.

Well, you are telling the loop to stop.  So you just want the output to update when you press the OK button?  But then you also want to keep the VI running?  So how are you then stopping your VI?

 

Use an Event Structure.  It will make your life easier (and not burn up your CPU).

I can't tell what your goal is with this fast-running loop.  If you're waiting for a change to the string you should use an Event structure.  If you want to process every change to the String control you can set it to Update Value while Typing.  If you just want to restore the edit position in the string after you're done editing it, use a KeyFocus roperty node.

Are you running highlight mode?

Set the control to Update Value while Typing.

Solution is only working with strings.

What can i do with numeric-controls? There is no setting "Update while typing"?

I did. But it is the same problem. If the focus is on the control then the value is not updating.

It is solved for striing-control but still not working for numerics.

Same problem in the loop or event-structure.
