How to make a "Ding" sound and "block" other VIs when a subVI is open?

[Daniel_CB]

Hello everyone,

I am working in a user interface with a main VI and some subVIs and I would like to add the "property" that windows uses sometimes to force the user to select something that is on a given window (in this case would be in a subVI).

In windows, when there is a small window that emerges, the user is forced to select one of the alternatives. In such cases, when the user clicks outside of the window, there is a "ding" sound, the small window blinks, and the mouse can not select anything from other windows (I hope I could explain my self).

That is what I would like to implement in labview (if it is possible).

Many thanks,

Daniel

Just set the VI to be Modal.  Go into the VI properties, then the Window Appearance tab.  You can just select the Dialog option for a quick fix.
