Is this the same as your problem found here:http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/dialog-box/m-p/2366450#M737025?

Show us what you have tried and where you are stuck.

You create a sub-vi with the "look" that you want for your dialog box, and any operator entries passed to output terminals. In the sub-vi you will probably need to have a while loop, with a way to exit, such as a "Yes" or "Continue" button. In the sub-vi's properties (right click on the sub-vi's icon) you can customize the appearance, removing the toolbar, etc., and in the execution have it set to run when opened.

Hi Cross ,

Ya you are right . Nearly same but i thought it would look  better if we have a pop-up menu till the user it tested the element. 

so I made it in a Sub.VI.

I have called it from the Main.VI but the problem is i couldn able close it after it worl is done .

How to close the dialog box after the work is done and return to main.Vi

Your dialog VI.  I want to poke around your VI to see if I can figure out where you're stuck.

Do NOT use the Stop function.  That is like hitting the abort button.  You need to stop your loops naturally (using the termination terminal).  I would also change your sequence stucture into a state machine.  That way you can skip steps if needed.

And does it make sense for a dialog to call more dialog boxes?  That's one GUI I would not want to use.

Thanks Cross,

What do you mean by Termination terminal ? I didn get it . What will be the problem if we use nested dialog boxes ?
