[Beginner Question] Viewing the User Interface while suspended

[SteveD123]

While single stepping with the debugger, how do I view the user interface, so I can check that the change I expect has actually occured? I have searched help and the NI website, and found nothing. Surely there is some simple way, a hot key combination or something, to switch from the CVI editor envionment to the user interface panel that was being displayed just before the breakpoint?

I know about the "Refresh User Interface" command, but that does not let me see the thing!

I would be most greatful if someone could just point to the correct place in the documentation where I should be looking.

When you say "view" the UI, do you mean literally see it on your monitor? CVI seems to always put the UI panel behind the IDE window, so I just temporarily move the IDE out of the way to look at the UI.

I too wish there were a hot key to move to the UI, but I'm not aware of one.

You can easily hide the IDE using a checkmark in the Options/Environment settings: Hide windows when application is running
