Stop VI vs Abort VI

[vicens]

Hi,

I want stop and close a VI from another VI. What is the methom most recomended? I'm proving with global variables, Invoke method: abort VI, or more round-about: get value control [Variant].

Thanks

The best way to my opinion is to create a stop condition for the subVI and set the necessary variable from the parent to generate the stop condition to stop the subVI. in this way the subVI is given the opportunity to cleanup after itself.

HI vicens,

I would always prefer to use some "messaging system" instead of aborting a vi!
Here "messaging system" means: using global variables, LV2-style global aka action engine, queues, checking a (main) stop button by reference...

Thank you André and GerdW,

I thought the method Abort it was so extreme.

Thanks, too.
