"File dialog" to Frontmost position

[Mr.Fah]

Guys,

When I open file dialog, the file dialog window is always behind the front panel.

See attached files.

When I run Main.vi, it will open Sub.vi.

Here, window behavior of Sub.vi is floating.

If I click the button "open file dialog", the file dialog is behind the Sub.vi.

How can I bring the file dialog to frontmost.

Thanks.

I cannot replicate the behavior you're describing.

Your code doesn't make much sense. You are dynamically loading a VI (did you read http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/FD7DE8BC8FFC256C862565F4006BE363?), and then are calling it each time in the while loop. Having it in the loop means that it's statically loaded already.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Thanks smercurio_fc

Yes, it works. It is strange.

When I tested it (with changing window behavior), it didn't work.

The file dialog was always behind sub.vi.

hmm...

I want to pop up sub.vi when Main.vi runs, that is reason I dynamically loading VI

And I have to transfer data to Sub.vi, that is reason I call it in the while loop.

I'm, actually, not very good at LabVIEW, Would you suggest me more smart method? 🙂

Thanks a lot.

Hi Mr.Fah,

                  I opened your example.For me it is working fine.While I click the button "open file dialog" the dialog box is poping up above all the VIs.

[Mr.Fah]

Hello guys,

It does not working again.

It did work at morning, but not now.

When I click window taskbar or other application (except labview), the file dialog is at front of Sub.vi

please see attached capture.

Fild dialog is behind Sub.vi

Thanks

Hi Mr.Fah,

                 You are able to drag the file dialog box.Then what is the problem?How this can be a serious issue?

[Mr.Fah]

To danil33

when subVI panel size is large this is really uncomfortable.

I find a reason. it is really trivial.

When I turn on context help (ctrl+H), this happens.

Haha...

Thanks guys.
