exicuting sub vi from a main vi

[Ray.R]

Absolutely I meant it..

I might allow initialization of clusters , queues and other controls to be slightly to the left of the screen, but not by much.  The core code NEVER exceeds a single screen. And NEVER more than the screen highth under any circumstance.

Now, I just have to buy a bigger screen.. 😉

But seriuosly joe.I would stop coding if the scroll bars are eliminated Not even once had i managed to do that.

Hello AAronJHanson,

I noticed that you said you were somewhat of a beginner to LabVIEW.  I saw that a previous post listed some LabVIEW tutorials but you also might want to check out some new training documents and videos listed on the National Instruments Developers Zone.  If you are still having issues calling a subVI from your main program please let us know and we can try to assist you.

Thanks guys.

I don't know how I would do what we need done if I could not scroll. Like I said before I am new at this and have alot to learn.

thanks again

Let's be clear: nobody is telling you that you can't scroll. It's just not a very good idea to make diagrams where you have to literally scroll several screen widths/heights just to get to another part of your code (we have seen code like this). Doing so just makes programming and degbugging that much more difficult.

I tend to find if I get bigger than one screen in the block diagram, I should look at where I can reuse code or just subvi sections of code that may be reused later.

As for the front panel, I tend to hide stuff off screen on purpose (disabling the scrollbars while running) for some inputs that the user shouldn't change and usually shouldn't even know exist, but I need there for troubleshooting/testing
