How/when will the "one button dialog" be displayed. Will it be automatically after the data is done being taken. Will the user have to press a stop button for the one button dialog to appear, or will it be up continuously. How is the program being run? Is it in a for loop, or a sequence, how is the program supposed to exit. Please be more descriptive or send an example of what you are trying to do

actually, as soon as my data is taken (in a loop) the message from the 'one button dialog' appears at this time the loop is not running anymore. the window is still open but i wish i could close the windows when the user decide to by pressing an 'Close' button from the dialog box.
i see that the one button dialog as un true boolean when pressed....so my question is is there a possibility to wire somthing to that true, meaning that i wish to close the VI Window.
thanks a lot for your help.

Guillaume,

Yes, when the one button is pressed, it returns a "true" out of the right output terminal of the one button dialog VI. You can then attach a case structure to execute some code (such as closing the front panel of the VI).

I attached a screen shot of a simple program that uses a one button dialog and then a case structure which closes the front panel of the VI using a reference to the VI. You could also just put an "Exit LabVIEW" function in the case structure if you wanted to exit LabVIEW completely.

I hope this helps! Have a great day.

Sincerely,
