make a window visible and invisible without closing it

[papish]

just a simple question, how can i make a window (front panel of a sub-VI) invisible while running another VI, without closing the VI as i would need to use its data again from menu selection. Thanks

On the sub-vi front panel right click the icon in the top-right corner and goto 'window appearance' and then 'customise'. You can also do this by "ctrl-i".
Here you will find options to control window pop-up behaviour.

Hope this helps,

You could set the VI-Property "FrontPanel-State", if you want to do it programatically.

Hope it also helps.

Just create a reference to the current vi.
Then use a property-node.

The value can be set using a constant.

Just have a look at the attachment.
