pop up window without user prompt

[Rajashekar]

Is it possible to have a pop up window without user prompt ie the window should pop up with a message on start of the process and should go off by itself once the process is completed without any user prompt.

Yes, use the FrontPanel.Open property of the VI (Application palette property; right-click: Select Class->VI Server->Vi). Set it to true, wait until the process is finished, set to false.

Thanks its working and i got some other also method using a while loop, the one you suggested is good.

[Rajashekar]

Is there any better way of programming the following programs.

Yes. You've written some convoluted code that does nothing. Even if you simplify it, you cannot stop it from the main. If you embed the subVI, your main will pause unless the subVI is in a separate loop.

You should spend some time with the tutorials and look for examples of using VI Server (as mentioned in the earlier post) to call and stop an external VI.
