prompt user for input enable enter key for "ok" mouse click

[Monse]

Hello,

I'm using the "prompt user for input" vi to ask a user for an input, when the user is done they have to use a mouse to click an ok box to close the dialog pop-box.... I was wondering if there was a way so that they could use the enter key on the keyboard instead of having to click ok with a mouse to close the box?

Thank you

- Go to your Front Panel.

- Right-click on whichever button you are talking about

- Go to advanced >> key navigation

- Under "key assignment", select "Enter" or whichever key you want

- Enjoy 🙂

Hmmmm.... well, my only problem is that my button is not on the front panel, it's on a pop up dialog box that pops up during a particular portion of the program.....

Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

I just set up a simple 'prompt user for input'.

All you have to do is press 'Tab' to switch between inputs.

Then you press 'Tab' one more time, and it will highlight your 'OK' button.

Once the button is highlighted, you can just press enter.

Doh!  Thanks, that worked!

My instrument does not have "Tab" key. Is there any other way which I can use "Enter" key to do it? I am using LabVIEW 2015.

Thanks,

Steve

Don't use "prompt user for input" express VI, but create a simple subVI that duplicates the desired functionality. Set it to "dialog" and "open FP when called", etc. and set the key navigation as you like.
