subVI remain active on top

[DGU]

in my main VI, I pop up a small subvi just to ask user to enter some information. however, if the user accidently click the big main vi in the background, the main window will become active and my pop window will go to background before user finish entering information. how to keep that subvi active on top, until user click OK, and exit the vi.

thanks!

In the subvi, go to file->Vi properties-> window appearance

use either the dialog or advanced-> floating or modal option to maintain focus.

ETA:
search help for "customize window appearance" for more on these options.
