using a sub vi in a modal form in one and non-modal form in another

[SZArjun]

I am trying to use a sub-vi in 2 places. However in one place I want it to open in a modal form and in the other I just want it to execute the code and generate results without the front panel showing up.

How do I do this?

The quick easy solution would be to make two copies of the subVI with each one's properties set the way you need it.

You could add the below input to your VI and set the property as desired when called.

1. Uncheck Show front panel when called in the VI Properties (Ctrl+I in diagram of the VI >> Window Appearance >> Customize...)
2. In the diagram, right-click on the occurence of the VI that must open >> SubVI Node Setup >> Check Show front panel when called
3. Repeat for the other occurence of the VI to uncheck this option if needed.
