how to stop debuging

[jjanssen]

Hello,

I'm debugging a software program with a sub VI that is creating a popup screen. There is some kind of error in it that makes the LabView debugger crash. I can only click on the popup but can’t go to the block diagram or the front panel anymore. I can’t even close the popup.

Is there some way to stop debugging with a hotkey?

Thanks,

Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,

      It sounds like there's a VI with its Window behaviour set to "Modal".  It's panel is open, but program execution is somewhere else.

One way to deal with this recurring situation might be to open the Modal VI in edit mode and change it's "Window Behaviour" from "Modal" to "Floating" - see VI Properties\Windows Appearance\Customize.  It will still pop-up and stay in foreground when it executes, but it won't block mouse clicks on underlying panels!  (it will behave just like the task-manager window.)  Once your app is debugged, you'll probably want to set the VI back to Modal behaviour.

Cheers!
