It sounds to me like you have a statically registered event structure, and it will queue the registered events for the controls from when the window opens to when it closes. Even if your diagram is busy executing the event structure, another loop, a subVI, etc. If you are done with the events, look at unregistering for them. Or you can change your state machine to return to the state you named poll, but I'd name processEvents. In summary, it sounds like the event structure is doing what it is supposed to, just not what you were expecting. If it isn't clear how to get what you want, please repost. Greg McKaskle
