I would like to display the pause button in an executable built with the LabVIEW 6.0.2 application builder.

When we upgraded to LabVIEW 6.0.2 (Windows) the executables no longer had the pause button in them. This was a useful feature but I can't find an option to display this button in the Application Builder. Please let me know if this option has been removed and whether I need to allow for pauses to be built into the programming. Thanks.

The Run-Time Engine was completely rebuilt for LabVIEW 6i. It was decided that the Pause Button was not a needed feature for executables, so it was removed. If you require pausing in your executable, you'll need to program it in yourself. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply. I suspected something of the sort but wanted it confirmed.

A well designed application shouldn't need to be aborted the hard way but if you want this feature, you can enable it in the application builder settings.
Under the "VI Settings" tab, select your Top Level VI and press "Edit build settings...".
Change the item "User can abort VI" to "Yes".

I need the abort excecution button in the built application. I tried to follow the steps above. But when I select the VI settings tab, the top level VI does not show up in the list of VIs for which one can edit build settings in order to change 'User can abort VI' to 'Yes'. Also, in the VI properties of top level VI, I have tried selecting 'Show abort button' before building . But it does not seem to help. Any solution for this? I am using LV version 6.1

Thanks in advance.
