Sub Panel in Application Builder

[JohnP]

My VI has a sub panel with with a sub vi front panel displayed in it.  When I build my application the sub panel is no longer visible.  How do I get it to show up?

[krispiekream]

there is a simple subpanel.vi example you can take a look at.

its in the examples.

When I run the simple subpanel vi I see the graph but when I build the simple subpanel vi the application created does not show the graph.  How do I build it to include the subvi?

[krispiekream]

oh,

i do something like this

you right click on the front panel where the subvi is at and create a property node (VALUE)

change VALUE to read and click on create constants to create the subvi constant on the front panel.

try it, it should work.

[JohnP]

Thanks but that still did not work.  First of all value is not an option for the property node.  I tried visible but that did not work.  I am using LabView 2009 - I suspect you are giving me instructions for LabView 7  .  Anybody know how to do this in 2009?

Hi John,

are you including the subVI in the application?

[JohnP]

No - how do I do that?

[krispiekream]

as far as i know,

a subpanel is a screen where you can see other subvi in your main panel.

so you need to create a subpanel screen on your main screen.

then you would use something like this.

 can you post the code and see what subvi you want to add to the frontpanel so we can take a look at it? it would be faster.

When I run the VI under labview it works fine - my subpanel shows what I want.  It is only when I build a standalone application using application builder that I have problems.  The standalone application does not show the subvi.

Edit your build spec and mark those sub-VI as dynamic and make sure their FP is included.
