Why are my LabView Dialog Boxes no longer modal when using the Example LabVIEW Operator Interfaces?

Typo I meant skchui.dll is not on my system.

Hi RG,

I've filed a corrective action request on this problem so that R&D will look at it for the next release of TestStand. I apologize for the inconvenience.

However, I have created a modified version of the ModalDialog VI used in the Example found at <TestStand>\Examples\ModalDialog\LabVIEW that negates that faulty behavior.
Basically a call is made to the users32.dll to force the LabVIEW modal dialog to be the window in focus. You can use the "SetForegroundWindow.vi" subVI in your own application to force the modal window to be in focus. These VIs are for LabVIEW 8.0.

Hope this helps RG, thanks for your patience.

Hi Dan,

I've implemented the workaround and Deployed and tested my application. The fix works fine!!

Thanks for all your help everyone!!

Hi Dan,

What about your following action:

"I've filed a corrective action request on this problem so that R&D will look at it for the next release of TestStand..."?

I suggested the same trouble in a previous message:

http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&message.id=12856&query.id=71483#M12856

In fact, due to his architecture, my software distribution couldn't easily receive an intermediate soluce (your substitute VI) as you effectively suggest.

Now, I need to inform my team about this issue and the must would be that a patch for TS exists...

 Thanks,
