Giving control to single vi through web server?

[tidstein]

Hello,
I am trying to set up a web server within my LabVIEW 7.1 software but I am wondering how you can only give control to a single vi.  What I would like to do is give control to a single vi and then have approximately 15 other vi's that are read-only.

Not sure I understand what you are trying to do.

What do you mean by "give control to a single VI" and "15 other vi's that are read-only".

The web interface normally just shows the front panel of a VI. This can be set to allow control of the VI, or just view it. Permissions can be set so only authorized machines can access the web page with the VI.

When I set up the web server, it seems as though I can only either give control, allow viewing or give both to ALL vi's set up within the web server.  I would like to give control to only one vi, and allow viewing to all of the other vi's.  Thank you for your assistance.

Those are the only options.

You might be able to do something using sub-panels in the VI you want them to have control of. Try placing a sub-panel to display the "view only" VIs and place a large transperent button over the sub-panel to keep the user from operating anything.

Don't have any other suggestions right now, but I'll keep thinking.

I haven't tried it but I'm wondering if the Lock Remote Panel Control method in the VIs you want to be read-only might work.
