User Input Dialog

[WayneR1]

I am using TestStand 2013, CVI as a GUI and Labview2013, I have generated a vi that is displays a user input dialog so that the operator can input a socket number and a serial number, etc with some checking to ensure the data is within a specific range. The problem i am having is that when the dialog is displayed it also brings forward the TestStand TestExec.exe over my nice CVI GUI.

Is there any way to programatically minimize the TestExec.exe once started and the operator logged in or a way to stop it covering up my GUI?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Wayne,

As a workaround, you use the set pannel Attribute :

Here is an example:

SetPanelAttribute (mainUIPanelHandle, ATTR_MINIMIZE_OTHER_PANELS, 1);
