I need to be able to Click on front panel indicator to open sub-vi

[Daddy-O]

I am using a main VI to monitor 40 sub vi's that are virtually identical. I need all 40 indicators actively indicating on the main VI front panel. That seems easy enough. I need, however, to be able to click on the indicator, and open the sub-vi for adjusting controls, resetting counts, etc. then close the sub VI when done. I have seen similar posts, and have tried several modified suggestions, to no avail. Please help! Chris

Well, what exactly have you tried? What is the architecture of your main VI? One way to accomplish what you want is by using an event structure and handling the "Mouse Down" event on the indicator. Of course, this would mean creating 40 event cases. That's the brute force way. The more "elegant" way is to use dynamic events as shown below:
