It isn't possible directly in LabVIEW. However with some smart programming
you can give the appearance of this by constraining your subVI's within the
"main" VI's screen co-ordinates.
However I would advise you to stay away from this as it would be
complicated to program. Instead play with the VI server to "launch" subVI's
(or documents). You can have a nice floating task bar (say set of booleans)
where the user clicks to create "documents" that are
VI's. You can also
pass "events" from this task bar to the document using queues/notifiers.
cheers, Alex.
