How to make "Enum Control" disabled during run-time of an executable application, and make it enabled when application is stopped/aborted?

Solved!
Go to solution

Just remember at you could never use that Abort button in a exe, unless there is a bug or critical error with your code. 

 

Using the abort button is like stopping your car with a tree. It works, but the car might not drive again. 

 

You should have prober design of your program, that allows the user to enter data before the program is continueing. 

You should also have a correct way of stopping the program, so that is can close down in a orderly maner.

We should get our terminology right.  Stopping the VI gracefully by letting it complete is not the same as aborting it.  And by "stop" button, i hope you are refering to a button you place on the front panel named "Stop" and not the abort button.

Yes, exactly. I mean a button placed on the front panel of executable application to stop application.

Hey, sorry - I didn't mean my other post to sound so terse.  🙂
