Create a subvi and set the window to 'open front panel when called' and 'close afterwards if originally closed' in the VI properties under 'window appearance' (or use the front panel open / front panel close methods inside your subvi). You will need to use the event structure to detect when someone has clicked the OK button to then add the item to the list. You will probably want a cancel button which just closes the window as well 🙂

You can also turn off scrollbars/menus etc. and set the window to floating/modal to make it look more like a popup dialogue.

Hi,

See the attached VIs; I have attached the example to how you can add the row to the table.

My example is not an ideal but will give a quick idea about how you can add the row using pop up window.

Don’t forget to use window appearance as ‘Dialog’.

curreltly my code is only adding the 0th row,

Further you need to see to which row you should add the output of the form ?

Table properties might help you

Also see attached VI here, which I have used for my previous project. From this VI you can get the following ideas,

1. When and how to update the data upon pressing Ok button
2. This also has cancel button in case of change in decision
3. Panel close event and further save changes “Yes, No, Cancel”
