EVENT_VAL_CHANGED

Description

LabWindows/CVI generates and sends an EVENT_VAL_CHANGED event continuously while a user performs an ongoing action that results in the value of a control changing. Examples of these actions are operating the up/down arrows of a numeric control, a ring control, or a table cell; holding the left mouse button down while selecting different items of a list box control; and dragging a graph control cursor.

This event is not swallowable.
