[Macarel31]

Hello,

i have a big program which is in a while structure and when i try to make a subVI, i have a message which tell me that my selection contain a front pannel which is in a while loop. How can i do to make a subVI?

Thanks a lot

If you make it into a sub-VI, how are you gonna press that stop button?

Hi macarel,

just proceed 🙂

You should ask yourself: Which front panel control? Is it intended to be used in the subVI?

It wasn't planed to make subvi's.

My program is initialy a main Vi with buttons Each Button launch another specific VI which make a specific measurement.

It works very well. But when i make an executable, it doesn't works.

So i try now to make only one VI with all the specific VI inside but it doesn't works too. The front panel of the specific VI never appears.

I searched in the forum and all the person who had this problem and solved it used subVI.

So i try this solution... which doesn't works too.

any suggestions?

Hi Macarel,

Because you didn't check the VI properties, especially the window properties?

[Macarel31]

Do you mean "show front panel when called"?

It's checked but no enhancement.

Hi Macarel,

this would be the right time to show main and sub VI as well as project/appbuilder settings...

Hi, If you want to show multiple subVIs, then you have check there windows appearances. Other then that if you want to control them from your main VI. then you have to place your subVIs in separate while loop inside your main VI. this will cause main vi to constantly updates control in SubVI. Hope this helps your problem.
