Two button dialogue box

[sushmith_ks]

Hello,

         In my VI i have used a two button dialogue box, i.e yes or no buttons.keyfocus will be on yes button, In run-time I  can interchange keyfocus from one button to other using Tab key. Is it possible by using left/right navigation key of keyboard? If so, how?

Thanking you,

Hi sushmith,

create your own "Two button dialog" and implement the additional logic using an event structure...

Hi sushmith,

create your own VI with two buttons and a text indicator. Create all the logic needed to handle button or key events. Create all the logic needed to increase size with text (as the "Two ButtonDialog" does). Set that VI to "dialog" in its properties. Do all this and you will have a VI to replace the original TwoButtonDialog that additionally handles left/right key...

Btw. is there a standard UI/OS that doesn't use the tab key to switch between UI elements? I never came across some UI that faciliate the left/right key, atleast not for selecting UI elements...

Hello,

         I got it. Thank you. One more question is, If I create a sapearate VI like that, It will have a big block diagram right? How can I add it like a sub VI?

        I mean to say, default two button dialogue will have a small box with say 5 in/out ports. we just have to connect message to be displayed , button names and output lines. So how can I create same kind of box with the modifications required?? i.e How can I create a sub VI? Can you please help me with that?

Thanking you,

Hi sushmith,

it seems you really should take the online courses offered by NI: here or here. There are even more resources available, LabVIEW comes with a huge example base...

Creating a subVI is a basic step, you really should know how to do that!
