Hi. I have a VI that encapsulates some camera "Stuff" that I want to do.
I would like to use this stand alone VI in another VI that has a tab container on it.
When I add the camera VI as a subVI I can see the icon in the block diagram but I can't find the Front Panel for the SubVI. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

It's possible to do, but in my experience, it'll make the SubVi pretty slow.
You might consider redesigning the VI so that you can loop over the SubVI for updated information, and then use UI elements on the top level VI to display that VI.
Alernatively, you could open a VI reference and run it in another window.
Hope that helps!

Thanks Chris.
I will just put all the code in the same VI. Is there a way to group a number of controls together so they 'act' as one when moving things around?

Or perhaps you are referring to simple grouping:
