Purpose

This example demonstrates how to use LabVIEW to create a dialog box that is modal to the TestStand main application window.

Example File Location

<TestStand Public>\Examples\Fundamentals\Launching a Modal Dialog\LabVIEW\Launching a Modal Dialog.seq

Highlighted Features

  • LabVIEW Adapter
  • Modal dialog boxes

Major API

None

Prerequisites

To run this example, you must have the LabVIEW development system installed.

Note The Modal Dialog palette VIs do not require the LabVIEW development system. This requirement applies only to this example.

How to Use This Example

This example uses a LabVIEW Action step to call VIs configured to function as modal dialog boxes, just as if the step were calling any other VI.

To review how the VI must be configured, open the dialog.vi located in the <TestStand Public>\Examples\Fundamentals\Launching a Modal Dialog\LabVIEW directory. In the VI, the modal dialog starts with the Start Modal Dialog VI and ends with the End Modal Dialog VI. Each VI requires the sequence context from the calling TestStand sequence.

Review the instructions documented on the block diagram of the example VI to achieve proper functionality.
