Creating a User Menu with SubVIs

[apatt]

Hi all,

I am pretty new to LabVIEW and have not used SubVIs yet. I would like to create a menu that allows a user to select which VI they would like to open and run, but I am having some trouble getting it to work. The posted code seems to run the VIs without opening them, but I would like to user to be able to view the front panel for the code that they select. Is this possible in LabVIEW?

Thanks,

Amanda

Hi Amanda,

you can set the property "open when called" in the vi options. Right click the FP Icon and selet options -> VI appearance.

Hope it helps.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure I'm looking at the correct icon. Are you referring to the icon at the top right corner of each front panel? I'm not seeing "options" when I right click on that.

Right click and first select VI Properties.

Hi Amanda,

yes this is the correct icon, take the first entry "vi properties". Sorry i have a german version!

Hi Amanda,

what about "Properties -> Window appearance" when right-clicking the icon?

Got it 🙂

Thank you all very much for the help!
