Dock Child VI FP to the FP of the Parent vi

[Guruthilak]

Presently i use the below mentioned snippet for calling a SubVI (with UI) for it to be a part of the Main VI (like an excel sheet) so that i dont see multiple windows in the desktop tool bar.

"Creates a Child VI into the Front Panel of the parent vi. Child and parent vi must already be loaded into memory.

The idea here is to include a option the VI Properties to add this option something like this

This is a great idea, I never thought about doing this for a VI's FP, I use to do it only for WinDraw images (because WinDraw images use to take a lot less CPU resources than FP image display).

Now, I'm wandering why you're not using subpanels, is there any advantage of this technique over subpanels?

I suggested similar idea here while ago!

Well same question.. what's the advanage of that over subpanel?
