Could you please post your code so we can get out of this?

The "Refnum Icon" lives on the block diagram, so how could we hide it? Only controls on the FP can be hidden/shown.

No, unfortunately the code is very restricted so I cannot post it on the Internet! 🙂  However I have fixed it. 

I created another VI as follows:

So the inputs are a "Static VI Reference" to the parent VI.  The name of the control "slide" in this case, and whether it is visible or not.  This is called by the SubPanel VI before the call to the library VI and afterwards to make the progress bar visible and then invisible.

Ah, I see.  I am reusing VI methods from past projects and the SubPanels were populated with:

I was not aware of this control, which would have made life easier! 🙂

Excellent, Thanks.

Actually this is no good for me.  When the SubVI runs it disappears into it and other subVIs, and the main panel are then locked out!

Hi,

To create that I right clicked the reference terminal of the "Call By Reference Node" and created a constant. In the constant, I right clicked and selected "Select VI Server Class">>Browse>>SubVI.vi. Hope this helps..
