Dynamic Load VI`s Labview

[Special K]

Hello

I've been trying to run a VI inside another VI in Labview 8.0. I studied the Dynamic Load example, but when I run my own the VI that I call from the " principla VI" does not open, it does executes it but it wont literaly open ( I have to search for it in my files and manually open it, there I can see that it is running and working, but it does not opens so I can manipulate it)

I think the problem is in the way i save them, there most like a herachy or something. I hope someone can help me and I hope my question is clear.

Hi Special K,

you can use the reference and a property or invoke node to show the front panel. If you want to show the front panel automatically, then you have to change the vi settings.

Right click on the SubVI and select SubVI node setup. Then place a check mark next to Open front panel when loaded and Show front panel when called. You might want to select Close afterwards if originally closed too.

HEELLP:

I'm using the OPEN VI reference anf then the CALL BY REFERENCE, and it does executes it, but the VI wont open ( the front panel of the VI I'm calling). Could someone explain me, spet by step how to do it.

I have done everything you told me before but nothing works.

Hi Special K,

i´m not sure why you need it, if you use the Call by Reference Node, but you can use for example the property FP.open = true.

Hi Special K,

see the attached example please. They are not equivalent, but both show the front panel.

Hope it helps.

Hi Mike,

Even i am looking for a same solution like this.

"Right click on the SubVI and select SubVI node setup. Then place a check mark next to Open front panel when loaded and Show front panel when called. You might want to select Close afterwards if originally closed too. "

But after implementing this the sub VI is running automatically.

Can someone help me how to avoid the autorun in the above case.

Cheers,

Hi Mike,

The example gud one . I am able to open another Front Panel by VI Method

from present FP, if i want to open the Front Panel in run condition how do i do that.

Simultaneously i want to close the present vi which i have achieved

by close FP. I had tried Run VI but when i do that the present FP closes 

but the next one doesn't open or run.
