Here is a trick for creating a simple dialog in LabVIEW. Follow these simple steps to quickly create your next dialog in less than a minute.
- Create a New VI.
- Drop the VI Snippet (Figure 1) above on the block diagram.
- Update the Window Appearance setting in VI properties to dialog (see Figure 2 below).
- Optional: Update with a Custom Window title.
- Save and run the VI.
In the dialog template snippet I also used another useful snippet – the error case structure. This simple VI snippet will help you save time with your next project.
What’s next?
Common snippets for folder creation and cluster sorting.
