Got locked out from my VI!

[lampersberger]

Hi there,

Got some stupid problem (I locked myself out from my VI), which I´m trying to fix for some time already. But nothing works!

What I wanted to do:

- Make a program, which starts automaticly on a double-click in Windows(-Explorer). And when the user presses the "END" button it closes.

What I did:

- I set the front panel appearance as "Dialog" in the VI settings (stops or interupts by the user are no allowed).

- I put an "END-Labview"-box at the end of the program (that it closes, when the "END" button is pressed).

What the program does:

- Exactly what it should (opens, runs and finishes after "END").

- But I don´t get into the block diagram anymore to make changes.

- I tryed to stop it by provoking errors, but it just crashes.

- Also breaks in SubVIs don´t let me interupt the main VI.

- I tried hot keys (Ctrl+., Ctrl+E, Ctrl+C etc.).

- I tried starting it in Windows-Explorer holding down Shift, Alt or Ctrl (this works with some other application).

Question:

- Is there some way to get into the block diagram, or is it lost and I can redo the whole VI???

Thanks for any helping replay in advance!

This used to work....

Drop the vi as a sub-vi in an untitled block diagram (Put some broken code in if neccessary). Then double click it to open it without running it.
