Subpanels in CVI like those in LabVIEW

[maurizio.bollini]

Hi,

I would like to create subpanels in LabWindows / CVI as in LabVIEW ie where a panel is displayed as a subpanel of a panel that includes it. Where can I find an example?

Regards,

Maurizio.

Hi,

in LabWindows/CVI these are called child panels. You can configure LoadPanel so that panels appear within other panels in your user interface. When ...

Thanks Wolfgang.

I'll try it shortly.

It's been a long time since I played with LabVIEW so I'm not sure this is the correct answer: I suppose the closest equivalent to subpanels probably are CVI child panels: you could try running panels.cws example program that shows you what child panels are and how do they behave.

To locate the example you can run the Example Finder (Help >> Find Examples... menu item) and serarch for 'panels' in the search tab.

What an idiot I am! I saw the discussion as new and replied without focusing on Wolfgang'2 answer! 😏

Thanks Roberto. I have tried all the examples but from what I have seen, the functionality is different. In LV you can define an area where you can make one panel or another appear. In CVI the mechanism is that of parent / child where one panel can host another. It is about having to adapt to what is available.

Maurizio.

I know this is an old thread. But to help people out here there is a workaround. Setup a tab control, hide the tabs (tab control property), delete the tabs (DeleteTabPage) each time you switch panels, and load in your panel via the function InsertPanelAsTabPage. Works great as a sub panel.
