How can I call the SubVI like a child window one or more times in the front panel of my main VI ? See the example atached...

[Cleber]

I would like to create a aplication where I call dynamically the same SubVi many times in the front panel of my main VI ... I saw this kind of programmation in other languages like Delphi, C++ Builder and Visual Basic.
For explanation: I have 10 channels to read in the list, but I would like to see only 3 channels ... Then I will click in the channels choosed of my list and will open the same SubVI 3 times, where each one will show the individual channel.
 
Thanks for attention...

One possible solution (maybe not the only one) is to use VITs, see the attached example. I do apologize not to have more time to discuss about it.

hope this will help you

TiTou certainly pointed you down the right path... For a few more details, refer to my post to this thread:

You could use the same technique, except instead of opening the clone's front panel, use the VI reference you have to it to poke it into a subpanel. Please note: I have never actually tried building a VI with more than one subpanel on its front panel, but it should work. Also you will not want to close the VI references because you will need them to stop the clones when you shutdown your application.

Mike,

You can only put one sub-panel per front panel.  It won't even work in debug if you try more than one.  Also, if you are using an event structure in the main program and also in the sub-paneled program sometimes the events generated in the subpaneled vi will lock up the event structure in the main vi and vice versa.  Subpanels are really not a useful way to go for this type of problem.  They are only useful if you want to view one basic vi's front panel (with no state event-driven machine) at a time.

The problem seems to be fixed in LV 8.0. LV 8 automatically clones a subvi when it is placed on multiple subpanels. There are some problems however as I state in my post:
