How do you get the display message to appear only one for each case?

[Shalins]

Hi Friends,

I am here with another question....

I have built a VI that should contain 6 checkboxes, when a particular checkbox is selected by the user it should display a message to the user of which checkbox is checked.

My problem is:  when I select one of the checkboxes the display message appears continously one after the other, even when the OK button is pressed.

Can anyone help me please??

FIrst of all, you need to detect when things change, so the dialog does not appear with every iteration of the loop (use an event structure).

Should it be allowed that more than one box is checked? If not, you should use a radiobutton control instead.

what does a radio button do?

A radio button allows for only one boolean in it to be active at a time.  You see these things all the time.  Think about a poll that only allows you to select a single option.

How do I connect the radio button to the display message?

Try this:

Wire the radio box terminal to a case structure.  Put the respective message dialog in each case.

(If you have just one VI to upload, go ahead and attach it directly.  Use Zip files only if you have multiple related files to upload.)

What process?

You attach the VI file the same way you are attaching the zip file.  Click the Browse button on the message editor.  It doesn't matter what version the VI is.  Creating the zip file is more work.
