Re: how do i get subpanel to blank when sub-VI finishes running
Hello. To have a subVI open its front panel when it executes and close its front panel when it finished executing you can simply right click on the subVI in the top-level VI's block diagram, go to subVI node setup and put a checkmark both on Show front panel when called and Close afterwards if originally closed. Note that this configuration only affects this instance of the subVI. If you want the subVI to behave that way always, you can open the subVI, go to File VI Properties, go to the Window Appearance section, click on Customize and again put a checkmark on both Show front panel when called and Close afterwards if originally closed. This will open and close the subVI's front panel every time it is called as a subVI.
Re: how do i get subpanel to blank when sub-VI finishes running
Hi, With Sub-Panels, there's no Sub-VI node to right-click on in the BD, so that ruled that out 4 me... I tried setting this behaviour for the VI in it's VI Properties, and even though I've verified that the settings are there set, when I call it using the Sub-Panel it opens the FP, runs the VI, but when the sub-VI finishes, the FP doesn't disappear... I assume it's something to do with the SubPanel's way of calling it or something?
Re: how do i get subpanel to blank when sub-VI finishes running
Have you tried creating an invoke node for the subpanel and setting the remove VI node? That should, well, remove the current vi in the subpanel. Abe Stoker Software Engineer Sytronics, Inc.
Re: how do i get subpanel to blank when sub-VI finishes running
Tried an invoke node using a shift register to close the FP of the current sub-VI on the next iteration of my loop (i.e. when it's finished)... had to create VI Ref constant to init shift register, and this kept creating errors for me every time I tried to run the loop when I called my sub-VI... unless I was generating the constant incorrectly r something, don't think this is gonna work...
