Disable FP of a VI during execution of another VI

[olivier66]

Hi,
 I'd like to know how can I disable the front panel of a VI during the execution of another VI.
There's 2 front panel running at the same time, on of them has a little size and is on the frontground, the other one is on the background and full screen, I'd like to make the second one disabled while the first one is running. does anybody have an idea? I didn't find any property of the VI that I can use to do that.

Thanks
Olivier

This can easily be done by setting the window behavior of small VI to modal :

1. Open the small VI
2. Right click on its icon --> Properties (or Ctrl+I)
3. Select Window Appearance for the Category
4. Press Customize...
5. Set the Window Behavior to Modal

JB,

What you ve explained is Standard UI design  criteria.

But Oliver had asked about "Disabling" an FP, when another one is Open.

What I think is, does he mean how to make the other FP NOT working at all !

Oliver,

Can you come up a bit clearer for me to understand what you exactly require... ?

Hi,
No I am sorry but what jb said is exactly what I needed.
Thanks anyway
