Hello all,
I'm trying to use subVI's as small floating windows that appear and disappear on command. These windows provide access to controls that trigger functions in the calling VI.
I've already achieved this by calling the subVI's (which are set to be front most) continuously in the main loop when I want to see their front panels and then closing them when I don't want to see them using the close function in victl.llb.
This works, but there are some problems. The title bars of the floating front panels flash continuously when there is more than one panel open and if two panels overlap then the overlapping regions flash. Also, when I operate controls on the calling V
I (window maximized), the floating panels disapear. I also tried using invoke and property nodes with the same results.
I realize that this is because only one panel can be in front at any one time, so while calling them in a loop keeps them visible it also makes them flash and disappear behind the calling VI when I click on it.
Is there any solution to this? Is this addressed in LV 6i?
What I really need is for those floating windows to act like probe indicators. Is this possible?
I would greatly appreciate any help.
thank you,
Louis
