alternative to this

I did whip up a no-frills example of my approach at your request.

Test1.vi is a simple pop-up that is called to demonstrate any test.  Its just a timer and a stop button no frills

Tests.ini is the configuration file that maintains a history of all tests available and the vi to launch (in this example I only launch Test1.vi)

Prompt.vi is a modified version of the prompt user express vi.  I had to add a file path type that is not on the standard pop-up.

Main.vi

 This section reads the ini and sets the Enums string property as mell as read the test file paths

I think the rest of the code is pretty obvious but--- ask if you have any questions

CAUTION:

I rushed a bit so I forgot

To set the VI properties on Test1.vi

Here it is corrected so your LabVIEW does not hang

More debugging

The event case Launch needs a few tweaks

an event case needed for the stop boolean

Strings [] Property Dim hasPlayer, playerversion hasPlayer = false playerversion = 10 Do While playerversion > 0 On Error Resume Next hasPlayer = (IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." & playerversion))) If hasPlayer = true Then Exit Do playerversion = playerversion - 1 Loop is_FlashVersion = playerversion is_Flash = hasPlayer

Strings [] Property

Short Name: Strings[]

If the string is an enumerated type control, you cannot write this property when the VI is running. If the string is a ring control, you can write this property when the VI is running.

Enum changed to Text Ring

Learning is fun

All functions work as desired

thank you alot

its all clear to me now ............if i will get any problem in future will tell you

Actually, I got some value out of it too!

My customers ALLWAYS want just 1 more engineering function option to run from their production test systems (but only when they are experimanting for engineering purposes).  

I just added a Pizza? boolean (what do you want on TOP of everything?) to my mainline GUI.  Guess what it launches?
