invisble child window pane

[jay0909]

Hi,

        I'm currently doing a project which has parent and child vi concept. When i was searching for few examples related to the concept, i came across this example. In this example i'm not able to drag if the window pane is invisble, meaning the child window disappears. With window pane visible i could drag. So how could i solve this problem? Is it possible drag without window pane for child vi?

Go to VI properties>>Appearance>> Enable "Window has Title bar" in sub vi.

HI,

      i tried it. But i wanted without titel bar. Is it possible to move the vi without tuitle bar? How to using win 32 api?

Then you should do something like the solution provided in move window without title bar

[Hooovahh]

Under very few circumstances would I ever have more then one event structure in one VI.  You have two, and one is inside another...inside a while loop.  I would recommend avoiding having more then one event structure, and just handle all events in one, keeping previous data in the shift register.

Also regarding moving windows without a title bar and child/parent windows.  Here is a proof of concept I made a while ago that puts children windows into a parent window and the children can be moved and resized as a child, or made a floating window.
