Application Builder UI

[Bmarsh]

I have a long list of VIs which are called dynamically. When I include these VIs using the "Add Dynamic VI" button on the Application Builder (6i), it includes them, but strips off the front-panels, which apparently is a bad thing for a dynamically loaded VI.

From the "VI Settings" tab, I can change the properties of the VI so that the front panel isn't stripped.

Couple of Comments:

(1) If I included it as a "Dynamic VI", then why isn't the UI smarter and not strip the panel for that case.

(2) I can't seem to select more than one entry in the list on the "VI Settings" page. It sure would be nice if Shift-Select, or Ctrl-Select worked here. I've got a longish list, and clicking each one open, changing that setting and closing it is
no fun.

Is there a better way to do this?

It's not exactly the answer, but some ideas ...

2) With app builder 6, you can live them out (as VIs) but you need to know the path when you call them

1) You can use VI server to enable the Front Panel after calling a VI

Hope this helps
