center sub VI on calling VI

[miguelc]

I'm trying to center a sub VI, which is a dialog I created, on the calling VI's front panel. I've tried setting the VI property Window Run-Time position to center, but it centers on the monitor screen, not the calling VI FP. I could pass the FP coordinates and set it that way, but I was hoping there is an easier way to do this.

    If you want the dialog to hover over your main front panel in the same position you will probably have to pass the main FP coordinates. Another possibility is to place a "sub-panel" control where you want the sub-vi to display, making the frame and scroll bars of the control invisible. Then when you want the dialog vi to be visible have it opened by the sub-panel controls methods on the diagram. You could also have the main always centered on the screen, and then set the sub-vi to be centered as well. Doesn't actually track the position of the main though.
