How to program where a subvi appears on the desktop?

[ShogunOrta]

I have a main program, and I have a button on the main program that opens two vi's simultaneously. The problem is that both VIs literally open one on top of the other. I would like them to open simultaneously side by side. Is there a means of accomplishing this?

Hi Shogun,

you can use property nodes to place/move the VI windows on your screen…

Yes.  There is a Property of the Sub-Routine called "Window Run-Time Position" (when the sub-routine is open for editing, right-click its icon, "VI Properties", "Windows Run-Time Position").  Use the Help button if it isn't intuitive.  Note you can also position the two Front Panels "manually" and choose "Unchanged", which can also work (I think).

Yep, this helped. I just went to the VI's Properties menu and found just what you're talking about. It was easy! Thanks.
