How to set focus to a SubVI?

[DirkLV]

I am calling a dialog style SubVI. Even though I am using the FP.IsFrontmost property, the focus stays on the caller. Therefore also setting the KeyFocus property on an "OK" button of the SubVI won't work. Any ideas? (LV7.1)

Have you changed the windows properties of the subVI to "dialog"? (VI properties..windows appearance).

... or if you "customize..." the apperance, make sure to select "Windows behavior: modal"

(Quote from the help:
Modal � Keeps the front panel on top of all other LabVIEW windows until you close the window or open another modal window. You cannot interact with other windows while a modal window is open. Most dialog boxes in LabVIEW are modal windows, such as the Options dialog box.)
