Hi I am running a dialog box as a VI, how can I set the propertise of this VI so that it is allways on top / focus even with non labview programmes running.
I have set in VI properties to modal but it still appears behind an external application that I am running.
Hope you can help?

Look at the Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW. In there you will find the VI, Make Window Always on Top.vi to make LabVIEW application modal (always on top) within the Windows environment. The modal option can be removed for a LabVIEW application with the Revoke Window Always on Top.vi.

Thank you for your guidance!
Actually I have not worked with this "call by reference node" before so I was wondering if you know somewhere that I can access a kind of basic tutorial?

Afshin,
Look into LabVIEW Help. You just need to hover over it and then navigate to Detailed Help which shows up in the Context Help (Ctrl + H) window.
