Overview
This example demonstrates the 4 basic steps required to use the Show Busy Indicator VI in state machine design.
Description
The Show Busy Indicator VI enables you to provide an indication to the user that the system is busy. This functionality is useful if your application performs operations that take more than a few seconds to complete. Run the included example VIs to see how you can implement this functionality in your applications. The Show Busy Indicator VI is a modified version of the TestStand - Show Busy Indicator.vi by National Instruments.
Requirements
LabVIEW Full Development System 2012 or compatible
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
Additional Information or References
Note: The busy indicator will not be displayed if the calling VIs front panel is not the frontmost panel when this VI is called.

good job,thank U very much!
Simple and clear, exactly what I was looking for. Excellent code, thanks!
Good Morning, Tom
Thanks for the great feedback. I’m glad you like the code and find it useful.
FYI – you may find some of the other code that I’ve contributed to the LabVIEW Community useful as well.
Thanks again and let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Have a great day!

Hello. Thanks for this code. I am using labview 2016 and when running your example state machine (UI-Example 2) “long Duration” I notice that clicking “Perform Long Duration Operation” does show the busy indicator correctly. If I then wait till it disappears and repeat the process the busy indicator dialog seems to grow in size each time. Eventually it is large enough to see the “OK” button as well. Any thoughts on this ?
