How can I open a new window based upon input in an existing window

[SpaceMan Al]

Hi,

   I'm pretty new to LabVIEW and I've run into a slight problem that I having trouble finding information about.  My LabVIEW application will present a user with several configuration options.  Depending upon the options the user chooses, a new window/panel will need to appear with an entirely different set of options.  Is this possible?  If so, how?

Thanks,

Al

Hi Al,

you can call subvis in a case structure ("when button is true then call subvi"). In the subvi's properties you have to set "open front panel when called" and "close afterwards" (window appearance settings).

Open up the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples), change to the Search tab and enter "dialog" in the search textbox. Open the example called "Dialog Box Demo".
