Subpanels and popup question (labview 7.0)

[krispiekream]

I am not sure what I am doing wrong but it doesn't seems to work for me.

 Can you upload the vi you made using labview 8.0 so I can see it?

I modified your code using LabVIEW 2017. That's all I have installed on this machine. You can go to the Version Conversion board and have someone there change it to LabVIEW 8.0.

You did not include the "limit checker_new.vi" so I just put a couple of Boolean constants there in its place. I got rid of a lot of code that was unnecessary and modified the code that was missing/wrong. Again, this works in 2017 and it should work in 8.0.

My friend came up with this solution that seems to work in Labview 7.0. Using Event Structure for KEY DOWN & ENTER KEY. It works when I am testing it here.

Now my other problem is running SUBPANELS within SUBPANELS. But that's another thread of its own 😞

Well, I forgot how difficult it is to work in LabVIEW 7.0 once you are used to "modern LabVIEW" (I'm currently doing most of my work in LabVIEW 2016).

I thought that the idea was to be able to "launch" a sub-VI and have it run in a sub-Panel, and also be "stoppable".  This is so easy to do with Start Asynchronous Clone, and quite a challenge to do with VI Server (particularly if you haven't used it in 6-8 years).

This is the Caller.  It will use a Notifier to stop the Sub-VI when the Stop button is pushed.  We start the Sub-VI first (as it has an OpenG "Fit FP to largest Decoration" function to make the Window nice) then insert it into the sub-Panel.  Hmm -- I see opening it in LabVIEW 2016 for purposes of making these pictures has distorted things a bit, but the VI's themselves will be attached (if I remember ...).

Here is the FP for the sub-VI -- notice the Raised Frame Decoration surrounding what we want to see in the Front Panel.  I can't seem to get the Block Diagram to fit with these new-fangled Windows, so I'll just attach the two LabVIEW 7.0 files.  If you don't have LabVIEW 7.0, trust me that this works ...

that works!

Its a lot easier than the method I came across.

Thank you so much. I will try to use this method.

THANK YOU AGAIN!
