SubPanels / Scrolling Containers

[Ian Renton]

Hi,

There's a part of my front panel that's much wider than the rest, and I'd like that small part to be scrollable.  I've been experimenting with SubPanels, but haven't found a way to use References to controls within the SubPanel VI.  Programmatically, the bit I want to scroll is very much part of the top-level VI - not well-suited to being a SubVI at all.

My question, essentially, is:

Is there a way to make a container that has no functionality other than the ability to scroll what's inside it?

(If not, how do you reference individual controls inside a SubPanel?)

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Ian,

LV 8.x and up have panes, and are exactly what you describe. There is a one BlockDiagram but the front panel consist out of several parts!
