Conditional parallelism on LabVIEW

I am writing an application to update the numeric value given user's input value and depending on the user's input value the program checks if it is greater than 10 if it is greater than 10 then the program waits for 1 second and then will have a popup message says "true".

My intention was to call the conditional check, printing true every one second if the user's input value is greater than 10; in other words, the case structure was to be called regardless of the event structure in the same loop infinitely.

But it doesn't seem to work the way I expected. Unless there is user's new input value, getting into the event structure, the program doesn't get to the case structure even though the case structure is in a loop.

Is there any way to call the case structure not dependent to the event structure but I want to use a shift register for the numerical value and also having an event structure and a case structure in parallel.

If you want successful help, attach your code. It is a hurdle for everyone to recreate your picture from scratch, especially if certain things are ambiguous or not even visible (event configuration, code in other event case (e.g. timeout), valid control input ranges (data entry configuration), code in other cases of case structure, LabVIEW version, etc. etc.) So, as a first step, attach your VI!

I haven't read all the other comments, but here are some of the more glaring mistakes.

1. Your dialog popup is modal and will stall the dataflow until acknowledged.
2. Your reference and value property write is just plain silly because the controls already has the new value, else the event would not have fired.
3. You are dealing with I32 integers (timeout, etc.) so change the representation to match.
4. Again, you are creating a popup, not "printing" anything, whatever you mean by that.
5. There are plenty of simple solutions to create the program you want, but that's not it.
