Run a VI in a subpanel without set the focus on it

[Elmi]

Hello
I would like to load a VI dynamicly in a subpanel and run it. So i wrote a program where the user can chose a VI by selecting on a tree-control.
It works fine, but when i run the VI in the subpanel i lost the focus on the tree-control. It seems, that the sub-vi (which i load) get the focus.
How can i run my VI in the subpanel without set the focus on it (keep the focus on the tree-control)?


Thank's for your answers.

Hi Elmi,

I think that with a property node you should be able to set the loaded VI as you want... look :



Hope this helps

Hi TiTou
Thank's for you answer, but i can't set the Front Panel Behavier of my VI because it runs in a subpanel.

What do you mean by "it runs in a sub-panel"... I think you can call the "dynamic VI" from any place and still you should be able to set its front panel as you wish..
Could you post your code please ?

[TiTou]

I've tried it like this (example attached) and the vi dynamically called does not show up even if in its setting (vi properties) "show when called" is enabled...

Are you doing it more or less the same way in you application ?

Hi TiTou
I use a subpanel-container where i place my vi's.

I hope you can see what i would like to do in my attachement, but unfortunately it can be run because i can't send you the hole code.

Thanks again for your help.

Elmi,

When I open you VI I get 3 error messages like that one :



After a while I found out that the "subpanel" invoke node is not linked ; if you clear the input vi reference link and relink it, the invoke node will change.



I suggest you refer to the viewer VI in the labview\examples\general\controls\subpanel.llb directory for an example of using the Insert VI method.
I think the invoke node should be made by right clicking directly on the the subpanel object on the front panel 😉

Hope this will help you
