Open and run the VI using FP.Open from another VI

I would like to have LabVIEW open and run the VI when I open the second VI (number 2) from VI (number 1). I set the appropriate Execution options in File»VI Properties to make both  VI run when opened but it works only for the first vi and when I open 2.vi from another 1.vi the second vi will open but not run.Would u plz let me know how can I make the second vi run when I open it using FP.Open.

Hi en99,

i do not understand what you try in your picture, but you never call the RUN method. Can you please explain what you try to do?

Hi Mike

By clicking on the OK button in 1.vi I would like to close 1.vi and open and run 2.vi at the same time.It works perfect and I can close 1 and open 2 but as I said I would like 2.vi be in run mode because I don'w want to click on run icon to run 2.vi.I hope this comment be useful

There are several ways to start VI 2.

- use a invoke node of VI 2 which says : "run when opened"

- edit the VI properties of VI2 en set "run when opened" to TRUE
