ARG!
I hate modal dialogue boxes. So often I am working on an application, I make a change to a modal dialogue interface, forget to save it and then run the main VI to test the changes.
Of course then the modal dialogue comes popping up in the middle of the screen and as it is not active you cannot use any of the buttons to close it, but you cannot interact with the main VI either, and I have not figured out a way to close it down (other than killing the LabVIEW.exe process, which hoses all the changes I have just made).
I suppose I could probably code a small VI which lists the open windows and allows them to be programatically closed using VI server, and then compile this into an exe which I could run. Anyone done something like this, or am I missing something totally obvious?
