Event Type Descriptions - Mod Wheel / Quick Access Auto Help

I really just need some description for the possible event types you can assign to controllers in logic, like the mod wheel. For example, expression, portamento time... I don't know what i should be listening for when it comes to utilizing these controls. But I know some of these options would greatly enhance my samples (EWQLSO) in terms of reality (strings swelling instead of remaining stagnant). The manual mentions around 15 event types, and I was wondering if I could get some solid definitions. Some are obvious, but feel free to fill in the gaps, it would be much appreciated.

Also, I've had some trouble getting mod-wheel movement to show up in multiple windows in logic. Even if I do automation quick access assigned to the mod wheel, I get split information. For instance, the Arrange Window will record pitch bend data, but it will not be reflected in the Event List, or Editor, let alone these options in the Matrix window.

Any help would be great.
