popup window issue

Hello everyone,

 

I have a problem with a VI. I have a section within my code where I generate a report in PDF, the problem is that when I run the VI, the screen to select the name that I want to save in that report appears behind the VI and I cannot move it.

The only way the popup window is placed on top of the VI is when I open a window of another external program and minimize it.

 

I think it may be a problem with the VI properties. I modified the properties since I need the window to be in floating mode.

Is there a way to fix this problem?

There is nothing on your front panel?

Why you need it?  Can you hide the front panel?

Why do you need it in floating mode? The front panel seems empty. I'd start by removing "Show front panel when called"

The front panel is not empty, I hide what it has since it is a program that I prefer not to show due to client confidentiality issues.

The easy way is make your VI modal.  If it has to be floating, make it show up after the Open File Dialog.
