How to create a New Event Window Pop up

[Ellynn]

The program I want to develop has many layers.  I want to have a menu page, after clicking on one of the buttons, I would like to see data display on the new event pop-up.  I have checked the example : New Event Handler.vi however, it does not work when I put my own subvi into the Event Structure.  Can you tell me what is the property of the subvi that I need to set in order to have it as a pop-up window? 

Thanks.

Go to the File Menu - VI Properties.  Select Window Appearance in the Category box.  Then click on the Custom radio button and then click the Customize button.  Click on the Show front panel when called checkbox and the Close afterwards if originally closed checkbox.  Click OK.  Now when you call your subvi, it will be displayed and will close when the vi is done.
