perfect, it looks fine, now i can select the elements from combobox and send them to another vi.

I neet to make the second vi run only after i finished my selection and it must run only once. 

should i put it in a while or something? is there any button which gives only one true signal when you click on it and it is false for default to make the while run only one time? 

see my vi

thanks

Yes, you could use a bollean control connected to a case structure in your while loop.  Put a short 'millisecond wait' in the false case, and your subvi in the true case.  Then it will only execute when the bollean is true.

Put a case structure in the loop and wire you button to the case selector.

Select the mechanical action "Latch When Released" for that button.

Something like this

Edit: Jack beats me but I had to draw some wires

You should probably set the boolean 'mechanical action' to 'Latch when released'.  That way the VI will read it once and act on the true, but then set the value back to false.
