Solved: Re: VI Properties Help

LuminaryKnight · ‎08-02-2023

I've got a VI that I've made for users to open while running the main application to look at and modify data they've been taking. But I want them to still be able to interact with the Main.vi while it's running asynchronously. How does one achieve this using the VI Properties?

Not that I have an answer, but why does it need to be "through properties"?

The only guess I have given the very limited information presented is that you need to change your choice of Default/Floating/Modal under "Window Appearance". If one is Modal, or one is Floating but the other is not, you may run in to issues.

See the details here for differences between the 3 options:

This where the behaviors are changed, so I thought. Is there another location you are aware of?

The answer was Floating on Floating. Thank you.
