Clicking on one VI moves all to the front.

[jvh75021]

Like a lot of folks I use two monitors and often have several VIs open as well as some documents. Eventually I end up with some VIs on both screens and maybe I have a word document on the right screen and a Vi of interest on the left screen. As soon as I touch the VI on the left screen, all VIs take precedence and my word doc gets shoved to the back.

Is there a way to decouple this annoying behavior so that only the VI on which I click gets focus?

thanx,

Not really, since that's under control of Windows. All the VIs are within the single LabVIEW process so clicking on any VI causes Windows to bring LabVIEW to the front, and all those VIs are part of LabVIEW. What would be required is that each VI gets launched as a separate process, similar to how you can launch a separate Internet Explorer process when you select File -> New Window.

You could make a suggestion in the LabVIEW Idea Exchange if it hasn't already been suggested.
