displaying pop up windows one after another

[christophe69000]

hi,

I have developed a Vi which contains the function Open a file.vi where the user can browse to the file he wants to open. I would like to have another pop up window after this one where he can choose between a lot of properties.

I actually created that another pop up window and defined all the needed properties in windows appearance. But The open a file dialog box and the properties dialog box open at the same time, and i would like to display one box after another (after the user clicks on OK for the file he wants to open)...

I don't know if I am clear. Any idea appreciated!!

Sounds like a simple case of lack of data dependency. The Properties window needs to have some sort of data dependency on the Open File so that it cannot execute until the Open File has completed, and has generated data. That's how LabVIEW works. The easiest way to do this is to have your Properties window have an error in cluster so you can wire the error out from the Open File to the error in of your Properties VI.
