How to break execution when Modal SubVI opened?

[Andrey_Dmitriev]

Colleagues,

A very simple question: sometimes I have modal dialogs, which cannot be closed (this may happened during programming, when logic not completed, or if one of then modal dialogs was opened, and then main VI was started). So, when it happened, then the only way to break execution is killing LabVIEW from Task Manager. I remember that was a simple trick how to stop execution without killing LabVIEW, but can't remember. Can you please give me a hint - how to stop execution in such situation? Yes, I know about Ctrl+. combination, but this doesn't work in this case.

See attachment for details.

Try pressing "Ctrl + ." (period) to stop the VI.

Have you tried this with my example? Ctrl+. will not work, because Show Abort button option is turned off in the SubVI options.

That was other trick, not standard Ctrl+. shortcut...
