Error Message box pop up

[VeeJay]

HI Again,

Here is another question. How do I get the "Display Message to User" to pop up in front of all windows? Right now, I have to open the minimized progrm to see what the message is. How do I automatically get the message on top of all windows, Thanks!

Isn't the LabVIEW Help great?

Good. Because I've got plenty to give away.

Be very careful on how you handle pop up windows!  Bad things can happen if you do not take care of things properly.

Hey Guys,

IsFront property bring the error pop up on screen; but it is still behind the other software I am running.

What I have is two programs running; one is a LabVIEW program and the other is a commercial software; both communicating with each other through RS232. The commercial software hogs the screen and unless I manually click the LabVIEW taskbar, I am unable to bring it to the front of the screen.

Is there any other way to overcome this?

Thanks!

Then you need to use operating system calls to get the window to the front. On Windows you can use the Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW
