Programmatically Set a Sub Panel to Open in the Same Position in LabVIEW

[HunterSeeker]

Overview

This example show how to programmatically set the origin point of subVI to a specific place in a Sub Panel

Description

This example show how to programmatically reset the origin of a called subVI, so that it loads in the same place in a Subpane every timeregardless of the window size and position when the subVI was saved. Note, the main Front panel window will default to being the "zeroth" Pane in the panes[] array (at the index array), but you can manually rearrange the panes, but by default this will work. 

In this VI we reset the origin of the subVI to 0,0 so it will load in the origin at the top left corner of the sub panel. When you place controls and indicators on your subVI plan for the origin to be in the top left corner.

Requirements

LabVIEW Full Development System 2012 or compatible

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Enter the SubVI path to be loaded in the Sub Panel
2. Enter the desired Origin Position in the control
3. Run the VI
