why Pause button does not work?

[ZZZ]

If RUN button down, the while loop starts. In the mean time if random number is greater than 0.9 or PAUSE button down, while loop halt. But actually the PAUSE button does not work. Then how to make PAUSE botton effect in while loop?

ZZZ,

To allow the PAUSE button to stop the loop, you need to change the behavior of the RUN button event case so that it doesn't lock the front panel.  Right click on the "RUN": Mouse Down event and select Edit Events Handled by this Case.  Unselect the Lock Front Panel box at the lower left of the Edit Events window.  With this selected (the default condition), the program won't process the PAUSE button press (or any other button press) until the loop stops.
