Can I embed a Front-Panel Vi inside of a tab control?

[IEC]

Ok So I am writing a program which has multiple .vi front-panels that are displayed at the same time, and which the user actual changes data on while they are all open. I want to switch this so that there is one and only one front panel, with a tab control on the front panel, and each of the .vi front panels that are open on their own tab so that the user can switch back and forth between which front panel they see without ever leaving the one MAIN front panel.

Can anyone give me any ideas? If not on using the tab control, is there another way to have multiple front panels open and accessible at the same time while only displaying which one the user chooses?

Thanks a lot,

Jonathan

Can you put sub-panels on each of your tabs ??

Sub-panels work well on tab controls. I have only tried this on LabVIEW 7.1, however.

use VI server properties to dynamically load and run the vi and manipulate the front panel, you can hide it, move it, make it frontmost and modal, etc. check out the examples bundled with Labview.
