Why It Is Important To Know How To Abort VI Execution

[Moorethoughts]

Overview
This VI programmatically resizes and moves itself randomly every 1/2 second.  It is designed to teach a user about using the keyboard to abort a VI's execution (which can be done usint <ctrl+.>

Description
This VI uses random number generators inside of a while loop to programmatically move and resize the acquisition window.  Because the abort button is disabled, the only way to stop the VI is to use the keyboard abort or manage to press the stop button located on the front panel.  After 50 unsuccessful seconds of stopping the VI, a hint appears for how to stop it.

<ctrl+.> is not very useful in case the labview window has lost focus. In this case it is quite deficult to stop  vi like that.
