Why, you might as well wire the indicator terminal in its place, eliminating the local.

Do you want the indicator to update while the subVI is still up, or only after the subVI is closed again?

What you could do instead have the control reference of the mouse down control be an input to the subVI. This way you can modify it while the subVI is still running.

I can see quite well that you are modifying the indicator with a local. Which does not make any sense. You say you want to modify the controls and that you have a touch panel but your example does not pop up a keyboard to modify any of the controls. I'll ask the question again - why would you want to use a keyboard to modify an indicator and not use a keyboard to modify user inputs? The controls you have on the subVI would make more sense if you had those on the main. Then, every time you wanted to change either the x or y value, pop up a keyboard, and pass the new value to the subVI. The subVI would not have any loop at all.
