[Relojero]

Hi i'm new working with labview, i have been made an aplication with express tool vi output called "display msg" and when i run the program in "run continuosly" the message window dont close when i push "ok" i want to know if there is a way to disable the message window when i push the bottom "ok" ?

Is your code doing anything other than displaying the message box?  Run Continuously will automatically re-run the Vi when the code is complete.  So, if you dismiss the dialog, the VI will restart and display it again.

yes mi code simulate a temperature regulator and i use the express tool vi display messages to user for warning about the maximum temperature and minimum temperature, i attached the vi

The VI you wrote will display a prompt if enabled with every run.  If you use run continuously, you have no opportunity to change the value, so you will always get the prompt.

Run continously is not the method you should use to run your VI.  Use a while loop.  You'll have to detect that the temperature value has changed (or better yet that you have already notfiied the user of the alarm).  If you want an alarm for every dat point change, you'll need ot use the event structure or track your last entered value and check to see if the current value is different.
