Thanks for the response. It turned out that my problem was having a "commented out" event structure in a case structure with a constant wired to it, since I got the event code working first in the top level and then tried to put it into a sub VI. Even though the event structure was never executed, it still swallowed all the events and prevented them from being reliably received at the lower level.
