Which window is in front?

[Nick1]

Greetings,

Using LV 7.1. My app uses windows that cover the entire screen. I have various dialog windows that will pop up in front of the current window.

Here is the problem: A dialog window has opened in which the user must enter a filename. Meanwhile, a problem occures in the process which will open another dialog window. The 2nd dialog window opens behind the main gui window. When the user has finished with the first dialog window he becomes stuck because he can't see the 2nd dialog window( the 2nd window was set to default for display). If I set the 2nd dialog window to modal, then the 2nd window comes to the front BUT the first dialog is still the active window so the user can't respond on the 2nd window.

Certainly, the windows can be dragged out of the way but I want the 2nd dialog window to move to the front after the 1st one is satisfied.

Any ideas?

Hi Nick,

You can use Call by reference  node to dynamically call the Sub vi's.

By using this u can achieve ur requirement .

Check out Dynamic Load Example.vi in Example finder.

Thanks Venky,

I will review this example in depth....not something I've used before.

These dialog boxes pop up from separate while loops....will this be a problem?

Venky,

I put in a request to the client to upload this code and they didn't want to do that.

I haven't had a chance to look at the dynamic loading. It's like these dialogs need to be qued.

Anyway, I won't be able to work on this code until next weekend.

Thanks for the help,
