Can You Programatically Close a subVI Window?

[diarmaede]

My main program runs a subVI that opens in a new window when called.  I want the window to remain open after the sub finishes running.  Is there a way to programatically close that window from the main program when I no longer want to see it?  Thanks!

If you have a reference to that subVI, then just use an Invoke Node with the Front Panel:Close method.

crossrulz,

Do you know of a good on-line tutorial that could help me set things up as you suggest?

Thanks.

Here's a snippet of how you can do it.

As of I know there is no direct tutorials that will give you information about using the Property and Methods in LabVIEW. But you can play around with that by using the VI and Control references and see the context help to understand things. Believe me you will learn more in this way than by using tutorials 🙂

Just a quick link about Property Nodes help

You can also create a User Event which ref you send to the sub-vi and register in there. Then you just create the event "close" and it'll close itself.
