How to make a LabVIEW Dialog Window built dll called from Visual Studio 2008 MFC modeless/nonmodal

I built a LV DLL Dialog Window and successfully imported it into Visual Studio 2008 C++.  However, when ever I try to execute it, my Visual MFC  parent menu dialog becomes inaccessible.  For some reason I need to close my LabVIEW Dialog window first, then my MFC window become available again.  How can I make my Dialog window Modeless/NonModal?  Has anyone tried this alternative before?

 

If anyone needs source code, I can provide it.

 

Thanks,

Lino

In your LV code, open the dialog vi and use vi properties -> windows appearance. Here you propably did select dialog. Go to customize. You have a radio button that is set to modal, so set this to default.

I actually did set the Window to Default, but for some strange reason the Window is still Modal.

I attached a snapshot of my settings for review.

 

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

Anyone have any ideas?

I don't believe this can be done with Visual Studio 2008 MFC.
