How to control user input with a button?

[Mike227]

How do I control a user input from a dialog box by activating it with a button. I am saying "press zero", then when the user does press zero, it should zero the scale.

Looks like you already did.  Of course, since the case that is controlled by the button is inside the loop it will not occur till the program gets there.  You could move the "zero" VI out of the loop and right after the dialog.

Did you want to activate the dialog by pressing "0" or did want the dialog to be comfirmed be the "0"?

If you want a user input to activate the dialog by pressing "0" you might be out of luck. But, you can use other key functions. First make a button, then right-click it and go to Properties and then the Key Navigation tab and change the toggle to what you so desire and add the modifer if you wish as well.

Hope this helped

Right now I have it saying, please press ok to zero. I hooked the ok button boolean to the zero case structure. It appears to not be working.

The user has only one button they can press.  You should enable the cancel so that the dialog can output an F.  

What you have works, but the zero will not occur until the case is activated.  If the insides of the case do not work, that is another story.  Put a pop up in the active case to convince yourself that the case is being entered.

This, what you have, always returns T.
