wanted to build a vi to simulate press and hold button on a panel.

[David1980]

on some industrial panels (press machine) there is a button which should be pressed and hold to activate all the other buttons for saftey reasons for example. wanted to simulate this by forcing user of the application to press and hold a key from keyboard while clicking over the rest of buttons on the front panel of the application (by mouse). Obvisouly, all the button on the fron panel of the application should work (by mouse click) unless the press and hold button, which get command from key board, is activated.

At the end the status of the press and hold button should change to false after each time one of the other buttons are pressed!

thanks for follow up.

David,

Thats exactly what the vi i sent you does, all you have to add is a reset button to the vi and it will do all you are after.

David,

This should do what you are after. It now has a reset. Use the example to construct what you actually need.
