stopping Sub-Vi's

[greg]

Hello,

How can I stop a sub-vi from running with a boolean switch, located in my
main program

[Nico Zalbertus]

Can you use a local variable of the boolean switch or are there any reasons
that you can't use them?

I do not believe that a local variable connected to a boolean in the main
program can be used inside the sub-vi. What I have is my sub-vi running inside
a while loop, and the sub-vi's output is a true or false and it only outputs
the true or false when it is done executing. So, i have had trouble stopping
it.

A global variable will work. You could also use an occurrence or one of the
other synchronization functions. If you start the sub-vi with VI Server,
you can also stop it by passing a value via VI Server.

Sorry, you are right! I misunderstood it.
Sometimes I use the application control Quit
Labview but that is not very professional.
