How do you close the User Prompt VI

#1 07-09-2008, 12:10 PM

I am trying to use the Prompt User to take in a user's data before the main part of the program begins.  I can get it to take in the information and display the information on text indicators, but I cannot get the prompt window to close, and it clears out the information that was in the text indicators if I press the okay button.  I have tried to connect logic gates from the "OK" output back to the "Enable" input, placing the Prompt User inside of a FOR loop with one iteration, and several other things, but the window will not close.  So, my question is how do you get the Prompt User window to close after the user enters in their information?

Post your code so what you are doing will be made more clear.Message Edited by lmtis on 07-09-2008 11:05 AM

The window will close when you click the ok button. There is no way that the user prompt will keep appearing unless you are doing something silly like clicking the run continuous button or calling this VI in a while loop.Message Edited by Dennis Knutson on 07-09-2008 10:34 AM
