0LabVIEW UI
TimeValue of the millisecond timer when the event occurred.
TimeValue of the millisecond timer when the event occurred.
CtrlRefReference to the control on which the event occurred.
ButtonValue that corresponds to which mouse button the user clicked. Left mouse button is 1, right mouse button is 2. Operating systems might assign higher numbers if you have a mouse with more than two buttons. For filter events, you can modify the data returned by this event data field.
ModsCluster of Booleans that contain platform-independent modifiers. LabVIEW returns all platform-dependent modifiers in the PlatMods event data field. For key events, this event returns a Boolean indicating if the event occurred on the numeric keypad. For mouse events, this event returns a Boolean indicating if the event was a double-click. For both events, a Boolean is returned if the platform-independent menu key, such as <Ctrl> on Windows or <Command> on macOS, was pressed when the event occurred. For filter events, you can modify the data returned by this event data field.
PlatModsCluster of Booleans that contain platform-dependent modifiers. Specifies if platform-dependent keys, such as <Ctrl>, <Shift>, <Alt>, <Command>, and <Option> were held down when the event was triggered. For filter events, you can modify the data returned by this event data field. A key can be both a Mod and PlatMod. For example, <Ctrl> is the platform-independent menu key on Windows, but you also can use it in platform-dependent programming.
