Create PopUp

[vatoloco]

How can i create an elegant and simple popup window, containing a simple VI (not like the "Dialog" functions), which launches when i press a button in my VI?

Note: i will need to include this popup in my application/installer, are there special considerations regarding this?

Using LV 7.1

Hello:

It´s pretty easy to do. All you need to do is to place the VI you want to show as a popup in the block diagram of the caller. Then right click the subVI, select SubVI Node Setup, then select the options "Show Front Panel when Called" and "Close afterwards if originally closed". I've attached a little example.

Thanks Robst!

Well that was simpler than i imagined, as everything usually is

Cheers mate!
