How do I control the location where a "dialog button" appears?

[chuck72352]

I have multiple loops running simultaneously and in each of them I have "dialog buttons". In some cases the "dialog buttons" appear over-lapping. Is there anyway that I can control the location where a "dialog button" appears on the monitor?

Thanks,

Chuck M.

What is a "dialog button"?  Can you give a screen shot of what you mean?

[chuck72352]

Sorry, "Dialog" Function.

Look under "Rotate" in the case statement. I have this VI running in several loops simultaneously.

You create your own subVI that behaves like a dialog box.  That way you can control its appearance and location.  Look in the Example Finder for Dialog Box Demo to get started.

I only see one loop. Do you have other VIs running simultaneously? Or is this VI called by several higher-level VIs simultaneously?

I also don't understand why you have metronomes inside the case structures. Are you trying to create wait statements? If so, use the Wait function, not the metronome. Why does the "De-Rotate" case have two metronomes?

I can't open your vi because I don't have LabVIEW 8.6, but if you're asking about a "One Button Dialog" function, you can found some hints in the Community (thanks to jschwartz)

Thank you for the help.     (Yes I have other loops similar to this one running in parallel)
