X Control With Dynamic Screen

[jgcode]

Howdy!

Is it possible to have an X control that can spawn a dynamic User Interface VI - such that the UI is non-blocking in the X control thread? I have done X Control with static UI - easy. I just want to know if it's there is any problems that may arise or it anyone else does that before I go down that path.

Right know I have my control in a main VI and I have a separate UI that runs in parallel to the main VI and that "acts" only on the control.

The parallel UI is run by by main VI and comms/data go through the main VI to the control.

I would like to encapsulate the control and parallel UI together.

However, the UI and control must run at the same time - the parallel UI cannot block the control.

Would this work ok?

Cheers

JG

Should be fine. (havn't tried what your doing but have done similar things).

There is a flashing LED x-control around somewhere here that spawns a vi dynamically as a timer which is similar to what you are tring to achieve.

Sweet, I remember seeing that one posted, I will check it out.

I think that is the way I am going to go.
