One of the easiest way is
In your main vi,
make one case structure (true and false case). And Place your "sub vi" inside your case structure
(let say you put your sub vi inside true case).
Next step,
Develop your "sub vi" and modify your "sub vi" properties.
Under Properties: make your "sub vi"
"show front panel when called"
and "close afterward if originally closed"
you can do it under "vi properties" --> "window appearence" and "customize"

This is a great example. However, I just wanted to emphasize that the front-panel booleans used for this purpose should be latch-action to avoid an endless loop. Just a bit of advice!

Happy coding,

Thanks for yor reply. The code you you have attached could not be opened as the error pops up to say the vi version(6.1) is newer than 6.0. But I myself tried as per your suggestion. But the front panel just pops and closes. Just flickers.

Actually I want a sub vi's front panel to open depending on the status of a switch in the main.vi. The sub vi should run and a boolean swtich like EXit in the front panel of the Sub Vi on being pressed should close the sub vi front panel and return to the main vi. In fact it is required to run the sub vi by the switch in the main vi and stop the sub vi by the switch in the sub vi's front panel. Pl comment
thanks

(1)Place your "sub vi" inside your case structure inside your main vi
(2)The control for sub vi's is a switch in the main.vi
(3)Then in the main vi right click the mouse on sub vi and you will get an option for "Sub Vi node setup" Click it on and you will have a options to make, click this two option given below
"show front panel when called"
"close afterwards if orginally closed"
(4)Whenever the main vi switch becomes true it will go inside Sub vi and executes and comes out when execution is over
Check the main.vi which i am sending
