load popup active / inactive

[TimT2006]

Hello there!

I am looking for a possibility to load a popup window from another VI.

If the popup window is loaded (active) it should be possible still to make some actions in another VI window.

Is there a way I can do that?

All the popup examples that I can find here are in the way that I cannot make any changes or actions respectively when there is still the open popup.

Try this.  Main.vi calls popup.vi and continues merrily on its way.  Popup.vi runs apart from Main and you can close them in any order you wish.

You can do that by setting the window behavior to "Floating".

Wiebe.

Thank you very much "jcarmody"!

That looks nice....

Actually your example is working out fine, but now I am trying to locate a button into the main.vi where the user could push it that the popup.vi woulf show up und if the user pushes it again the popup would not be here anymore.

I cannot figure it out so far.... somehow someway it doesn't work the way I am trying to...
