ExpressVI prompt user for Input dialog floating

[weitong]

I am using ExpressVI "prompt user for Input". The question is, when the dialog window pops up for input, I cannot activate other windows .

So how can I change this expressVI's dialog window to floating windows appearance?

Short answer: you have to make your own.

You can start with the Express VI by right-clicking on the express VI and selecting "Open Front Panel" and click "Convert". This will create a brand new VI that is the equivalent of the Express VI. Save the VI under a new name within your project hierearchy, and then change the properties on the VI from a modal to a floating:

1. Select File->VI Properties.
2. Select "Window Appearance" from the pulldown menu.
   
3. Select "Custom" option and click "Customize...".
4. Select "Floating" in the "Window Behavior" section.
