Pop Up Subvi in Labview

[Victoroza]

Hello, all

I am having the following issue. I would like to have a subVI pop-up window when user wants to do so, in other words at the press of a button. I can do this by playing with "Windows Appearance" parameters, however, my subVI is need to be called continuosly as it displays the data coming from the instrument. Thus I can not figure the way to close this pop-up window, as the my whole program is in a while loop. Every time I call the subVI the pop-up window appears, and there is not way to get rid of it. 

I would greatly appreacite i quick and dirty solution for this issue

Thanks for your time

Hi Victoroza

I have done something as you describe...and application with a pop up that display some data and can be closed or opened at any time.

On the Windows Appearence of the pop up vi I custimize the following options:

     Show front panel when called

     Close afterwards if originally closed

Window Behavior : Floating

Next, to call the popup I use the Call By Reverence Node Function (on application control pallette)... Setup this to load the popup vi and on loading options check the "Load and retain on first call"

Well, I hope this can be usefull for you.

 Regards,
