Looking for information about reducing the Diagram size of my program

Hello,
I´ve got a quite big program, with a lot of sub-VI, which are opening windows. I would like now to use a "Tab Control" tool, in order to integrate all this sub-VI in my main VI (user won´t see anymore windows opening, but he will navigate through the pages of the Tab Control). The problem is that I´ve got more and more a gigantic Diagram (containing all variables references linked to sub-VIs). That´s why I´m looking for methods able to solve this problem. I have also got the fear that my program will become more slowly, that´s why I´m using shift registers that allow the program to realise operations only when a modification has been done. But It takes also a lot of place on my diagram.
The q
uestion is : could I define on the main-VI, a selection where a subVI-panel could appear, and that would not necessite the use of local variables in my main VI.

I would like to thanks you for your help,
With regards,

Nicolas Minary

With LabVIEW 6.1 and below you cannot select a position of a front panel to have a SubVI appear. You can however use property nodes to dictate weither the SubVIs front panel opens, and specify the location where the panel opens. It will not be contained within the main VIs front panel.
