set the cursor busy steered by supanel vi

[halo]

I let run a vi and there is a subpanel. Is there a way that I can set the cursor busy steered by the subpanel vi. I pass the reference of the mainvi over a global variable into subvi. Without success there is no error message but the busy cursor does not appear. Just setting the cursor in subvi creates a null window error. Is there a easy way to implement it. Or do I have to use user events in main vi called by suvi an then se it busy. Would be not so nice to understand it later.

kind regards reto

Hi,

I try to implement it, but do not encounter your problem.

In mainvi

1. Pass mainvi reference to a global.

2. Insert subvi reference to sub panel.

3. Run subvi by reference and do not wait until done.

In subvi

1. All in a infinite while loop.

2. Read mainvi reference from global.

3. Set cursor busy.

The only problem I encounter is that since the cursor is set busy in mainvi, it is unable to close the mainvi by click Abort Exec button. 🙂

I don't think it is a good idea to set cursor busy steered by the subpanel vi.

Are you setting busy in the subvi?

I attach my test VI (LV 8.0). You can try it.

Thank's: It's working well.
