Multiple front panel display

Hello out there, I currently have a LabVIEW user front panel that has 4 tab displays, I would like to update the display to show all 4 on a 2 by 2 panel, with one of the 4 (select able - possibly with a tick box) to run ‘live updates’ and leave the remainder displaying a frozen last state (i.e. last live update before freeze). Once this achieved I would then like to select either one of the 4 to display full screen on the monitor or select 2 to display full split screens horizontally or vertically aligned. Does anyone know of any links discussing these processes or could point me to any LabVIEW examples to so I have some starting point. Thanks, for reading.

First of all, one VI can have only one Front Panel. Period.

But SubPanels can help you: you can place SubPanels into your single FrontPanel, and load VIs into them programmatically.

Here are some links with further examples/info:

Edit: and after re-reading your post, I think what you want can be done using SubPanels, but also using some tricks with programmatically moved Splitters.
