How do i make another screen pop out by (eg. pressing a button)

[bartb]

hi,

you can use the express Vis "prompt user for input" or "display messageto user" (use search) You also can create you custom "popup" by :

1. making a subVI with a message, buttons or whatever

2. go to VI properties, window apearance,  and select dialog.

3. place the subVI in your main VI`s blockpanel, right click on the subvi, select subvi node setup, and check that show frontpanel when called is active.

To open the window when prsessing a button, you can use a case structure within a loop. Place the SubVI in the true case of de case selector. Other option is an event structure.
