how can I prevent a small panel from going behind a bigger one

[volkermarquart]

From a full-screen panel I open a small panel (no child panel) and expect an input from the small panel.
Now. if I click somewhere on the big panel, the small one disappers.
Is there a control attribute, to fix the small panel in front until the expected input is made?
Thanks

Display your small panel using InstallPopup() instead of DisplayPanel(). See the CVI help for InstallPopup: it displays the panel as a modal window so it's on top.

You can also set the panel attribute to always float over other windows in the application. However, that means it won't just be floating over the parent window, but also over all of the other windows as well.

/*Set PANEL to float over other panels in the application when the app is active*/
SetPanelAttribute (PANEL, ATTR_FLOATING, VAL_FLOAT_APP_ACTIVE);
