Open differents subvis on own main vi.... is it possible?

Hi Guys,
 
I have a litle dude.
I have a very good application and works well,  i have main vi, it takes differents bottoms to open subvis with differents options or applications, but the problem is when i do the executable file, on xp open 2 files on the tab. One of them is named like exe file, and the another is the name of main file vi. And when i open any subvi, i can see the 2 windows openned.
 
I am asking myself if is it possible open the differents subvis on the main vi. Therefore, will open the differents subvis and when close the subvi, will come back to the main vi with the bottoms...
 
Only improving... I hope to see any example to do it...
Regards and thanks for the advises, Fonsi.

I'm not sure I understand your question perfectly, but if you want to open a window so that you can't access other LV windows at the same time, go to File>>VI Properties>>Window Appearance>>Custom and make it modal. That way, it will stay on top until you close it.
 
Another option of having all of them in the same window is calling all the VIs dynamically in a subpanel, but that will probably be more complicated than you like. You can search the LV user manual or help for "subpanel" to find out more.
 
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

Hi Tst,
 
THanks for your reply...
 
Yes, i would like similar to subpanel. The problem, i tried viewer.vi with my vis. Sometimes it loads well , another time bad... is not good for me. Even i would like on the frontpanel see the differents bottoms and picture, and later when i open any subvi, see it full screen, and in this way subpanel, i always see the bottoms and only window to load the subvis...
 
Ok thanks, i will continue with my system... I already use modal option, so i must close the window before to come back to the main...
 
Regards, Fonsi.
