Can't press buttons on a tab in a dialog pop-up

[SimonGoodson]

Hello,

I have a simple pop up dialog to have the user confirm that the program found the correct number of power supplies. The power supply array display and two buttons are on one tab, and a couple of hidden controls are on another. I have it set to pop-up as a dialog when called, and it processes the first couple of steps of loading the array, getting to the while loop and event handler (where the timeout fires, which I should probably remove) and then quits responding. LabVIEW doesn't even display the button animation when I try to click on either of the two displayed buttons. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Simon

You can remove the FOR loop and timeout event. They are not needed. Your timeout never fires because you did not wire a timeout (default is -1, i.e. infinite).

Sorry, I don't see any tabs ("Can't press buttons on a tab in a dialog pop-up").

Make sure that the front panel of the dialog is closed before calling it. If it is is open before, it won't close after it has been called.

Thanks, I didn't realize that I could remove the for loop.

Sorry for not being clear, the buttons I was referring to are the green "correct" and red "incorrect" buttons. They gate the completion of the pop-up.

Thanks,
Simon

OK, I see the tab now. It seems that the tab is disabled. (and thus everything on it!).

Right-click the tab control...advanced...enabled state...enabled (was disabled!).

Thank You! It never even occurred to me that disabling the tab would disable all the controls
