Is it possible to write a VI which has child window(s)?

[Byungin Bae]

Hi, every one.

Is it possible to write a VI with child window(s) on its front panel?
I want to write a VI which looks like an Excel's, i.e. a main window which
can have several child windows inside it.

Thanks for every advise.

Byungin,

To the best of my knowledge, the feature that you describe is not available in LV 6i. However, some alternatives that might be satisfactory for your application are the
Tab Control (under FP >> Array & Cluster) and VI Server (BD >> Application Control). Tab Control is pretty self explanatory once you look at it; VI Server is a way to programatically control features and functionality of VIs (e.g. programatically making a front panel appear and disappear). You can find out more about VI Server by visiting
