'OK' Boolean within Subpanel subVI (vs. in main code)?

[DonRoth]

This is my first real need for subpanelling.

I have what I thought was going to be a simple piece of subVI code to implement in a subpanel.  (and maybe I do).

The subVI just consists of a radio button dialog (see attached) with the idea that I want to get the choice from the user and feed it to the main program AFTER the user presses 'OK' (the 'OK' boolean is within the subVI).

The way I tried to address this was to use an invoke node 'Get Control Value' from the control with control name 'Method?'.

The only thing is that the invoke node executes without waiting for the 'OK' boolean to be pressed which under normal run circumstances is requeired prior to the while loop of the subVI being exited.

The subpanel examples I saw have booleans such as 'STOP' buttons in the main code and not in the subVI.  Is this the way I will have to do this or is there a way to do what I want (and it is obvious but just have not figured it out).

Thanks,

Don

This is what your main code should look like.  The key is to wire a True to the Wait until done in the 1st Invoke Node.

Beautiful....that works great.  I was trying to follow the included LabVIEW example \subpanel.llb\simple.vi where they state to "Run the VI before insertion."

Much obliged.

Sincerely,

Don
