Disable Error dialog windows in labview

[weizbox]

Right now I have a client program that uses dstp in which it trys to read the server, which should always be on, but in the case that its not, i get this ugly error window inwhich it tell me to Stop/Continue. If there is anyway to get rid of this window to have it automaticly continue, but then as well be able to get info from this event and change the value of a boolean (such as an connection error light or even trigger the opening of my own subVI pop up window) I would really like knowing.

Thanks, as always.

Hi Mark,

There are two possibilities here...first, you may have Automatic Error Handling enabled on the VI. You can read the LabVIEW Help to find out more about this feature (available in LabVIEW 7.0 or later). The other possibility is that you have a General Error Handler.vi or a Simple Error Handler.vi on your diagram, and this VI is receiving an incoming error. You can change the "type of dialog" input on either of these VIs to be "no dialog" so that no dialog is generated (although the VI may still do some formatting on the incoming error).

Let me know if any of this is unclear, or if you need any further assistance.

Good luck,
-D

I was useing 7.0, so thank you very much for telling me about the automatic error handler. Just needed to uncheck a box and everyhting was good to go. thanks

I sure hope someone can answer this one becuase it is being a huge pain right now. Does anyone know how to disable those stupid automatic error dialogs in the 7.1 run-time engine? Vi's run right, but the runtime engine pops up automatic dialogs on my executables so all my custom error handling is out the window. I would much rather deal with my errors on my own than have an autoatic error dialog come up that asks if I want to quit my entire program just becuase of some dumb file permissions error or something.
