Updated Sep 27, 2024

Environment

Software

  • LabVIEW

When there is a need to add a custom pop-up, sometimes it interrupts the application execution until closed. Implementing custom pop-up SubVIs solves this issue. See below how to implement it: 

  1. Open the SubVI which will be supposed to be the pop-up
  2. Press Ctrl + i
  3. Open the Window Appearance category
  4. Select Customize...
  5. Tick the Show Front Panel When Called option.

This way the SubVI will be popped up once called from the main application, and will not interrupt the execution. 

Next Steps

Make sure to assign the input values to the connector pane of the SubVIs by following this article: Assigning Terminals to Controls and Indicators
