Go to the VI properties of the subVI.  Window Appearance.  Customize Button.  Select Show Front Panel When Called.

what I want to do is...click on button and close the prog.vi.

Well, you don't have a button on the subVI to click on so the first thing to do might be to actually add one there.

Put a while loop in the subVI and wire the Boolean to the termintaion terminal. This is extremely basic stuff (and also covered in the shipping examples). You should spend some time with the tutorials available at http://www.ni.com/academic/lv_training/how_learn_lv.htm

I did what you suggest but it did not work.

Take a look on it

[Dennis_Knutson]

In the subVI's properties, you also want to 'Close afterwards if originally closed' and you don't want 'Show front panel when loaded selected'.

which is the best way to close a sub vi? use what you explained or use FP close?

That depends. In your case, where you want a simple popup, I don't see any reason to use the property.
