Make LV VI front panel appear

[j_osh_o]

I am a TestStand newbie.  I want to make a dialog box with LabVIEW.  I am using the sequence editor.  I have made a very simple VI with two controls and an OK button.  There is an event structure which triggers when the OK button is pressed.  The problem is that when the vi is started, it does not automatically make the front panel of the vi visible.  I want to make the front panel visible and appear in front of the sequence editor.

You need to check the box in the Module window for that step that says Show VI Front Panel When Called.

Also, if you installed TS after you installed LV then in your block diagram pallette there are some TestStand VIs which aid in writing TS subVIs.  There are 2 called: Start Modal and Stop Modal.  You can read about them in the help.  Basically they make the VI modal to TS.
