Stay on Top!

I have a subVI (which displays a graph) and is run from another VI. I want
the graph window to be open and "always on top" whilst changes are made to
the top level VI it was run from. But when the modal property is checked in
the Graph windows VI Properties... the top level VI becomes disabled and
wont let me click on it until the graph window is closed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks is advance,
John

Hi John,

use the lvwutil32 library. In the "Window mangment VIs" palette is a VI called "Make Window always on top". This is the best you can do.
