front panel execution : priority

Hi,
I have one main VI and several subVI that are run from the main one. Such that when I double click on Main.vi it comes up running and spawns 2 more front panels beside it. What I want to be able to do is to put a VI in the back ground so what do I do with the settings to ensure that a particular VI goes in the background and does not overlap the other Vi's that I want in the foreground including the main one,
Thanks

I assume you are thinking to window order, not quite execution priority. If this is the case, take a look at winutil.llb VIs, in Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW.They will allow you to set a window always on top, the first one, the last one.

Hope this helps

Yes you are right I am thinking about window order. So is there a function call already built into Labview that deals with the window order (first, second...last) or do I have to download something from this website?
Thanks

Use the link from my first response to get the VIs.
