pop-up window

[Harold_Timmis]

I figured I would make an easy to do pop-up window for those who do not know how to

here it is:

first you are going to put down your while loop than you put in your event structure and create what you need in this example I put two buttons to open the two SubVI's  after this you will place your subVI's on the block diagram and right click the subvi and select SubVI node setup it will bring up a menu that looks like  the subvinodesetup.jpg you will than check the "Show Front Panel when called" checkbox and run the program and it should work.

here is the code I just explained:

If you use the VI Properties in the subVI, you have more options for displaying the popup and the settings are used when you create an executable. Your method will work but I believe the default behavior of the app builder is to remove the front panel of the subVI when the visible properties are defined in the calling VI. Look at the shipping example called Dialog Box Demo.
