open reference / output in the same window

[André Hauser]

I want a vi (opened and started at runtime per reference) to display
its data on the frontpanel of the calling VI. How can this be done?

Thanks,
Andre

THis can be done using control references.

Pop-up on the control you want the sub-VI to update. Create a reference to the control. Pass this reference to the called sub-VI when it is called (via its connector pane).

Inside the sub-VI, use a property node>>>value to update the indicator when required.
