Dynamically calling vis normally (by inserting them on the diagram) instead of using path names?

Phredrick · ‎05-31-2002

Hey everyone, I have a program that needs to open copies of sub-vis based on user input. And it needs to open the same .vi many times.

It's no big deal, but if you do it the way I did it, you don't get those sub-vis in the hierarchy as they are opened using references.

Is there a way to open .vis dynamically (such that I can have many copies of the same .vi) by just plopping them down on the graph like I'm used to.

Unplopping code follows...

In the VI properties there are options to open the VI panel when it is run, as well as close it when it is finished. You can insert the VI's where they need to go and use that to actually open the VI.

Phredrick,

I agree with lorman, just place the VI Template on the block diagram. (To place it, use Functions»Select a VI.) It will then show up on the VI Hierarchy.
