Pop up window at the start of launching labview vi.

[Briton EMS]

When my labview vi is launched, I would like to first display a window that requests a serial number and when this has been entered, the window disappears and the main vi is launched which sequences all the tests for the unit identified. Can anyone give me some guidance please on how to do this.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Brition EMS,

write one vi, which shows the input window. if the user isnerts the correct number, call the next vi which do another part of your prgram.

There is a thread from a little while ago regarding licensing. There are a number of methods you can use, so you may want to have a browse through them

     Curious if you had found a solution to your delima. If not I will post the dialog VI that we use on a regular basis.

Many thanks for your reply. I haven't had much time yet to try out your solution but it looks very interesting and certainly helps with what I am doing. Seems to be missing a vi called "Check if file or folder exists". Would it be possible to post it?

Many thanks once again for your help.

Briton,

     The VI is located on the functions pallete in Programming>File I/O>Advanced File Functions>Check if File or Folder Exists. Attached is an image of where it is found
