Sorry but I am very new to Labview
I have a vi. There is a number that I need to set for this vi, but the only way I can adjust the number is opening into the front panel. How do I bring the inputs into the first vi. I want to be able to set the number on the very first front panel rather than the second front panel
Thanks for any help.

I am not getting your problem. Can you explain more... Your code requires sub VI it seems.
if you have any code, just post the code too.

Step 1...read tutorials there are lots of links on the forums to them
Step 2. Create subVI
Step 3. Right click the subVIs icon (in the upper right corner of the front panel of that subVI) and choose show connectors
Step 4. Click the connector you want, then click the control
step 5. Save the VI
Step 6. Drop the VI on to your top level block diagram (the one you want to set the control from)
step 7. Hover over the subVI you just dropped and you will see a "node"
step 8. Right click the node and choose create control
step 9. BE AMAZED!

Thanks that really helped. I was amazed.
Only one thing, is there any way to make the box in the top right corner any larger to see what I am connecting?
Thanks again

Thanks for your concern for my carpal tunnel. I liked the first idea better. I'll be sure to vote. But, how would I get that program to work within one of my programs.
Thanks,

If you look at the utility from Darin K. he gives you instructions on how to incorporate his example in your VI.
