Express VI within Control

[Craig]

Hi

Currently I'm trying to create a control which contains an express VI
to allow the control to be configured

An example of how this would work ideally is

A control is made with a sub panel and in the block diagram an
express VI to configure what VI is to be displayed in the sub panel.

And ideally when this control was inserted the Express VI would
automatically open its configuration panel just as if it was directly
dropped onto the block diagram.

The Problem is this is not what happens as the config panel is not
automatically loaded

Does any one know or have any ideas on how I could cause the config
panel to be displayed when the control is selected and dropped in.

The goal is to prevent the user from having to go into the block
diagr
am so we want to avoid requiring them to find the express VI and
double click it.

Thanks
Craig

Hi Craig,

You can create controls to define the various parameters of the express vi. Otherwise the only way to access the configuration dialog of the express vi would be to either double click it or right-click it and then click on properties.
