how to active more than one front panel in the same application ?

[ljkh]

Hello,

I want to active several front panels in the same application. I am a recent labview's user and it's difficult to solve this question.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

It's a little difficult to give a straight answer to your question.
One vi has only one front panel, if you want to be able to change your user interface, you can do it in several ways:
You can use tabs, change properties of objects, like visible/enabled, ...
You can also put other vi's on top of your main vi changing parts of the user interface.

Hope this gets you started,

But, each VI, including each subVI has a front panel. If you want several front panels, that implies using several VIs. The top level VI will call the appropriate subVI. Each subVI that you need as a UI can be set to 'Show front panel when called' and 'close afterwards if originally closed'. These settings can be accessed through popping up on the VI's icon and selecting VI Properties..., then selecting Window Appearance, then selecting the customize button or the dialog radio button.

Hope that this helps,
Bob
