How to create a promt in Labview???

[Sushkatta]

Greetings to all,

Can you suggest me a way how to invoke a promt to user to enter the data in Labview????

In the above code, As the program starts I have to enter the URL. But if I dont enter it stops the program without any output. I put a timed delay in between the stacks, but din"t work. I tried to replace it with stacked sequence but that also is not working.....I dont want the code to progress further without entering URL which is not the case in the above code. Any suggestions and inputs will be of great help....

Thanks & Regards,

Sushruth.

You could also simply use the Prompt User Express VI, since that's its purpose.

Yup......

But how can I use promt to define a dropdown menu or checkbox????

I have to concatenate 4 strings....Out of which 1 is to be chosen by checking the box and the other from a dropdown menu. If I use a combo box, then it doesnt promt the user to supply the data...Any suggestions????

Now you're getting complicated. The Express VI is for simple inputs. Anything more (such as your requirement) and you need to write your own prompt VI.

True........Things get complicated when new ideas start entering

Anyways......thnx a lot for the help....I will try to design and in case of doubts will post in this thread..Also if I get it to work(somehow!!!!!!!!!!):smileyhappy:
