Open new VI Window loose control in main Vi

[PMSilva]

Hi,

I have a main.vi that have a button that will open a new VI window.

I have no problem opening the new VI window, and passing the data to them.
The only problem is if I have the new VI opened, I cannot change any button state in my main.vi. Is this normal?
Only when I close the new VI window, I have access again to the main.vi.

Can you zip up your VIs and attach here? I can see one place where you disable a control but I'd like to poke around a bit more.

Sounds like the vi you are opening is modal. You will need to change that to be able to use buttons in other windows.
