Display message to the user without interfere the program

[arielsl\]

Hello all,

When the program display a message to the user with the express VI the program stop, and I can't press or changed anything in my program, until I press the OK.

How can the program display a message to the user while the user can change and press on buttons in the program?

Thanks,

Ariel.

1. Use a Status or Message string indicator on your panel.  It will not interfere in any way with the operation of the program.

2. If you want a pop-up window for your messages, you can create your own display subVI. Launch it with VI server.  Check the help for the settings you need to make it run in parallel with your main program.  Also think about what it will do if another window gets moved in front.
