Pop up window crasches web browser

[Ola_A]

A vi I'written works fine in LV development environment (LV 8.5) and as an executable, but when I remote control it from a web browser (Internet explorer 7 and Firefox 3.0.6) a pop up window crasches the web browser!

All works fine in web version until I give the user a choice in a sub vi that opens in a pop up window. In contains a multicolumn listbox and an event structure to catch the double click on one of the rows. The pop up displays and behaves all right, but when it finished the web browser crasches completely!

The result from the pop up window correctly gets back to the main program. The problem must come from how pop up windows are handled in the web version, but how can I avoid it?

Hi Ola_A,

you could avoid the popup in the web version and use a tabpage instead. You can use a seperate page to present your multicolumn listbox. Another solution could be to open a new web window on the client side and redirect the new window to the popup VI.

Is this reproducible? Can you post a sample of how to make this happen? If it's truly a bug we will want to post it in the monthly bug thread and make sure it gets a CAR#.

Two files attached "PopUpCrasches" a demo that only waits for a button click, and then shows the pop up window, and the pop-up subvi!

Super. I don't have 8.5, but I hope that someone from NI (or someone else who has 8.5) will be able to take a look at this and see if the error is reproducible.

More info; if I press Cancel i the popup vi no crasch of the web browser occurs, only double clicking gives the problem.

Hi Ola

I downloaded your VIs and tested them using LabVIEW 8.6 and IE 7 and it works fine, no crash. Tried both locally and over the network. I'm gonna go find a computer with 8.5 installed and try from again.
