Is it possible to put a normal VI front panel in front of Modal VI front panel

Hello, 

I have a main VI that call 2 subvis dynamcally. One with default front panel say subvi1.vi and one with Modal front panel say subvi2.vi. Is it possible to put a subvi1.vi in front of subvi2.vi. Any property we can set to subvi1.vi's front panel? My requirement is somewhat different.

You might suggest :Making subvi1.vi as modal to open it over subvi2.vi. This is not an option for me because priority should be given to subvi2.vi only. Subvi1.vi is just a window that opens for some time and has no functional purpose.

Hi devashri,

 

no, modal windows stay in front of "default" windows.

You can place those windows next to each other by changing their positions/size dynamically.

Or you could use subpanels to display the frontpanel of "subVI1" inside the frontpanel of "subVI2"…

Best regards,

The modal window A should probably be a normal window, the other (B) a floating window. That way, B will be on top of A...
