LabVIEW
what would cause a subvi to show its FP even when it is set not to show (default setting)?
Solved!
I have a subvi that suddenly decided to show itself even when instructed not to. What kinds of things would cause this?
Thanks!
Code inside the subvi, outside code with vi ref and invoke node, Call setup (r-click the dropped sub-vi), or VI properties.

How did you "instruct it not to"?
In addition to Yameada's points above: Does the VI have a breakpoint or is set to suspend when called?
What I meant was, it was originally set to the default setting (don't display the front panel when called) and when I noticed it suddenly happening, I tried custom settings and specifically told it not to.

I never thought about the call setup. Let me check that out - although it's weird that it suddenly started happening, maybe I changed it somehow accidentally.
The node setup on the caller is set not to show the front panel, and the breakpoint manager reports no breakpoints in the entire project.
Could an error condition of some sort cause this? I didn't write the code and there's plenty to dislike about it. 😞
Does it still do it if you place the subVI into a new, blank VI? If so, can you attach the subVI?

Hi, Alt:
It seems to work fine when placed into a new VI.
I don't see anything unusual. Do you have a "*.sep" file?
Which of the subVIs is popping the panel in your case?

Then it is your calling VI. If you right-click on your subVI call, there is a subVI node setup. Make sure the "Show front panel when called" is unchecked.
