[Ramme]

Hi!

I am just trying to use Lab view 7 to make my programs. I have a doubts in creating Main page as well as sub pages, and its navigation techniques. Please can any one send me the logic or explain me how to make the main page and load the next page and switching between these two.

I am very thankful in any one give me the solutions. Also i want to know how to collect the data Using DDE protocol. Please help...

Hi,

The following tutorial explains how to use DDE in LabVIEW:
https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019LMUSA2&l=en-US

I'm not quite sure what you mean by main pages and sub pages? Are you referring to subVIs within a main application?

What exactly don't you understand about them?

Dear Mr.Sarah,

I am asking for the page navigation. Opening subpages and closing them from main page. I made a continous running while loop and place a case structure in that, placed a Vi in true condition and then created a boolen control for that. Setted the Vi properties (Run when called)But there is no option in Labview 7 to close window when suspended.

When i called from my main page the sub vi fron panel appeared. But im confused how to close that vi front panel and jump into my main page.

I am asking for this logic. Please explain me.
Thanks
Regards

Typically, the subVI has a while loop that is terminated with a front panel Boolean on the subVI.

You should really check into the tutorials mentioned by Megan. Other resources for learning can be found at http://www.ni.com/devzone/lvzone/fundamentals.htm.

p.s. Sarah and Megan are womesn's names.

The best you could do would be to go through the 3 Hr and 6 hour LabVIEW introduction Links given by Megan.

You will understand the concepts required for LabVIEW programming and its features

Even Sarah's link to DDE ( it takes to the link successfully) will help you.

once you have gone through these, you can visit styleguide 

I advise you to try to visit those links again. That's your best shot

Regards

Dev

Hi...

1) I'm trying to navigate away from my home page to another page, say 'History'. Can anyone tell me how this is done?

2) Another doubt is if I click on a button on my front panel, can I open another VI?

Thanks & Regards

What are calling 'pages'? There are VIs and subVIs.

Of course you can open another VI. You can have a static or dynamic reference to a subVI. One of the common methods is to simly call the subVI in an event structure with a Value Change event for the control.

Like the others in this old thread, you should start with the basic tutorial.
