Why are my LabView Dialog Boxes no longer modal when using the Example LabVIEW Operator Interfaces?

Hello,
I have a step in my sequence that pops up a modal LabVIEW dialog box. My LabVIEW vi uses the TestStand - Start Modal Dialog.vi and TestStand - Stop Modal Dialog.vi as described in the example and it works as advertised when I'm using the TestStand Development environment however when I use the sample Operator Interfaces distributed with TestStand the Dialog boxes lose focus. I have the VI Properties->Window Appearance set to Dialog and have followed all of the instructions I could find for making a dialog modal. I've also reviewed all the documentation I could get my hands on including previous posts on this board and didn't see anything obvious.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I may be missing? Has anyone else experienced this problem and come up with the solution?
I am using LabVIEW 8.0 along with TestStand 3.5.
Thanks,
RG

Hi RG,
Running the example modal dialog in the teststand3.5 examples folder and using labVIEW8.0, I notice that when  the Dialog is displayed its not active, but it is modal to the OI. Clicking on the Dialog panel makes it active. If you try to click on the OI panel behind, you can not. Is this what you are seeing?
I am using the Full labVIEW IO as supplied with TestStand and the example VI in the modal dialog folder is as supplied.
The LabVIEW Adapter is still configured to use the active labVIEW developement environment.
If I run the same example, only this time using LabVIEW7.1, the Dialog panel is active.
There is a patch to take it to labVIEW8.01, at this moment in time I am not sure what the update fixes.
There does seem to be a problem with TestStand3.5 (engine) and LabVIEW 8.0.
Regards
Ray Farmer

    Dear Apple friends,
    I have the exact same problem with some apps.
    Even when I try some websites in Safari and Chrome that require loading big chunks of data they crash.
    Today it crashed in two new places. In the notification center and when I opened newstand app I no longer was able to return to the main window and the dock disappeared.
    I have my ipad retina for about three months now but latelly this issue has became more frequent. What should I do?
    Should I update to the latest firmware and do what raymond73 said?
    Is there a fix for this issue?
    Has Apple said anything about this? Because I see that this issue is happening to a lot of people.
    Is it possible to downgrade to iOS 6?
    Is it a firmware problem? That can be fixed in future releases? Or an hardware issue?
    Should I wait or go to the place I bought it and try to get the money back?

  • The bookmark dialog box no longer opens when i am trying to add a bookmark.

    windows xp pr0 sp3. firefox 3.6.12.
    the bookmark dialog box disappeared and i can't get it back. i deleted the 2 places files. i checked and they are not read only. thank you in advance

    This issue can be caused by an extension or plugin that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Download assistant \\ Adobe Premiere \\ why nothing appears in dialog box?

    Why nothing appears in dialog box while using Adobe Download Assitant & already logged in.
    I chose "video" products but it keeps being empty.

    It might be because your machine does not meet the requirements.  Check out the following and see if your machine meets the specs...

  • When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box, for a specific area on the page...instead of it going on in one straight long line...?

    When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box on a specific area of the page...instead of the text box going on in one straight long line....? I'm not seeing there's an option or ability to do so, just wanting to confirm.

    Improving the handling of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you will have to add manual carriage returns (Enter).
    Thanks,

  • When I open iMovie, the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

    The item may have been removed either permanently or temporarily between now and when you last downloaded it. There may be an problem with the App Store or your connection to it. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Try waiting a couple of hours and trying again.

  • Safari crashes when using the dialog box to import/save files, in facebook under windows 7

    I've encountered the following errors in some PCs, running Safari 5.1.7 in MS-Windows 7 Pro:
    Safari crashes when using the dialog box to import/save files. One doesn't have to actually upload or download any file, the mere invocation of the relevant dialog box brings down all open Safari windows after a couple of seconds.

    I have tried in-installing safari but it seems not to help. I have tried installing it to a third, newly installed pc and come to the same result.
    All PCs are fully up-to-date as it regards Microsoft and Apple patches. Any ideas as to why this might happen?

    Still having the same problem. Ever the optimist, I submit the following info.

  • Dialog Box does not function when called a second time

    I have created a dialog box that only seems to work once in a larger application. The box is designed to be a MatLab code debugger. My idea was to allow a user to interactively create/debug Matlab code from LabView using ActiveX automation. Anyway, I have created a test vi that uses this dialog box twice. The first time it is called it functions as expected, but the second time nothing on the front panel (of the dialog box) responds and I cannot close the window or interrupt the vi. I am using LabVIEW 7.0 on Windows 98. Please see the attached vi's. MatlabDebugger.vi is the dialog that's causing the problem. Matlabx2.vi is the sub vi that handles the ActiveX automation. Debuggertest.vi is the test v
    i in which the dialog will not word a second time.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

    The problem is caused by the nested event structures; you have an event structure inside an event structure, acting on the same controls. When the main one reacts to the cancel the other one get's stuck...so on the next call the main event structure just halts due to the stuck event structure inside it. It's not obvious why this is a fault, you may be able to spot it now that you're on the track though.

  • How to make yellow dialog box not come up when I mouse over tabs?

    I hate the little small yellow background colored dialog box that pops up when you mouse over tabs on Firefox on Mac.
    The reason why this is an in convenience on the Firefox in Mac is when a dialog box comes up and you minimize Firefox the dialog box stays there on the screen, so you have to bring Firefox to the front and then mouse over it til the box go's away, and then finally you can minimize Firefox without having the dialog box stay on your screen.
    To negate this problem I want to know if their is a way for me to disable that dialog box from coming up at all. It also comes up when I mouse over my all in one sidebar add on and I have noticed it when you mouseover links on certain sites, like in Pandora when I am mousing over the different artists in my list the little box comes up, again it's not needed and very annoying.

    you must modify '''browser.chrome.toolbar_tips'''
    type in the address bar '''about:config'''
    then press the button''' i'll be careful i promise'''
    then type in the bar '''browser.chrome.toolbar_tips'''
    then '''Double-click''' on it, to make it''' false'''
    exit firefox and restart-it.
    See for more info : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.chrome.toolbar_tips Browser.chrome.toolbar tips ]
