select variables from a subVI

[AAR]

How do you choose selected controls & indicators from subVIs and manipulate them from the main VI?

A different question, is it possible to hide some controls in the front panel of a VI?

You should 'wire' them to your connector pane (right click on the icon -> View Conector Pane).

Yes, you can hide Controls. Go to the block diagram and right-click on the terminal -> Hide Control.

Many ways. Simple way is to connect the subVI's control to its connector pane. Wire them from the main vi (calling vi)

Hi,

1) How do you choose selected controls & indicators from subVIs and manipulate them from the main VI?

If you want to change their properties, you will need to pass a reference of every control you want to manipulate to the main VI where you then use property nodes to manipulate them.

2) A different question, is it possible to hide some controls in the front panel of a VI?

Yes, it's possible using the "Visible" property
