clearing mouse strokes

[slud]

Have an application that has a main VI with several smaller VIs that pop up much smaller.  If the users has a pop up modal window and clicks on an object on the VI behind the pop up it does nothing until the user closes the pop up.  After the pop up is closed and say the user pushed a button to activate another screen, it then goes to that screen.  I am trying to get this not to happen, so that the mouse click that were made and the background screen are cleared.  Thanks

Hi,

Modal, by definition, keeps the front panel on top of all other LabVIEW windows until you close the window or open another modal window.  Note that you cannot interact with other windows while a modal window is open.  It's just like option dialog boxes in any other program.  

One way to get around this is to have the SubVI "show front panel when called".  To do this, simply right-click the subVI and click "SubVI Node Setup" >> show front panel when called.

I hope this helps!
