Where are the VI's:'Close Panel & Open Panel?

Hi everybody again!

Well my problem now is that if I want to call a panel from another panel,
this first panel must be closed, because if it isn't closed thr progam doesn't
run.

I know how I have to call another VI, but the problem is that if the VI has
been opened before, you can't open a VI twice, so I should close the Vi before
calling another VI.

I have seen the help and exist two VI's called 'Close Panel' and 'Open Panel',
but I haven't found them yet!

Is there any helpful suggestion for me?

Thanks too much for your answers.

Hi Carlos

Open Panel and Close Panel are in the library

\labVIEW\Vi.lib\Utility\victl.llb

They were in the standard pallet before LV 5, they are still there for backward compatibility. The new VIServer functionality in
LV 5.x does the same and more and so replaced them.

Also note Open Panel and Close Panel are now constructed using VIServer functions, where before they were dll or cin calls.
