Is it possible to embed one LV program to another one?

Hi,
I have two independent LabVIEW programs and each one has its own interface. I want to add a button in one program and when I click it, the other program interface pop out. Is this possible?
It looks like a sub-vi, but sub-vi can't pop out an interface.

Thanks.

You can set a subVI to open its front panel when called (File>>VI properties>>Window Appearance). You can also open its FP using the FP.Open property.
You can also use a subpanel (containers palette).

Hi ThunderBird,

'tst' is right about the different options of launching a VI/SubVI. In addition to his suggestions, I want you to check out this small example I once made:

Launching Other VI and Closing Itself

Is this what you're looking for?

Thanks ThunderBird,

I spend over an hour creating the icons...
I'm glad that you could use it.
