I want to be able to have my first panel as my setting value panel,and then,after filling it in with some digits,and press OK,it NOW goes to the second page that I want to show some data on this page,

ex:

===============================

what I should see on page1:

Enter value for x:...........

Enter value for y:..........

Enter value for z:...........

press ok if you put the values:......ok,

==============================
how can I do that?

Hello!

There are many ways to do this. I prefer to use tabs or a dialog popup window (sub.vi).

Here you can find many good presentations. Scroll down till you find the video called "Spawn dialog". There you learn about making a vi and set it up as a dialog window. You can then use that vi in a new "Main" vi.

As for tabs i would suggest to make a tab control. Then make your "OK" button to navigate to the next tab in the control. The page selector can be made transparent so that the user don't see or have the possibility to change the page by clicking on the flips. You can also disable the pages you are not currently viewing.

Here is link to a topic I made some time ago, asking almost about the same thing. Maybe that can help you. I from Norway and I used Norwegian language, but you can see the tab control with the three pages and that the buttons navigates through those pages.

Hope it helps! I can upload an English version of the vi if you have problems with the understanding of it, but I'm at work so it may take a little while.
