DQMH module main.vi front panel to open in a sub panel

[Asa77]

Hi, I am trying to implement a user interface similar to "Options" menu as shown below i.e. as you click on items on the left, associated front panel is loaded to the subpanel in the left. 

I referred the labview shipping example on subpanels and tried to implement on a DQMH based project, but I can't understand how I should show the module front panel on subpanel instead of popping it out.

I would be grateful if you could give me some tips.

Thanks in advance.

You will either have to share the subpanel reference with the module you want to show (and wire it to an invoke node), or share the reference to the module's main.vi with the VI containing the subpanel.

The UI Manager of our Windows Application Template contains an example implementation of this in the "Load Module into Subpanel" case of the MHL. The whole project is open source, here's a link to the UI Manager's Main.vi in the repo.

The VI implementing the actual function is part of our HSE Libraries, which are also open source. Here's a link to the Subpanel - Load VI.vi in the repo.
