panel wizard dsc 8

[santiore]

Hello

I used to program in LabVIEW DSC version 7, and there were an interesting tool for navigating through panels, the Panel Wizard, with wich you could open VIs from a bolean control in a front panel, or close the panel.  It constructed automatically the block diagram by using the VI Server VIs.  But in the 8.x version there is not the Panel Wizard option, so I'm not sure if now I have to program the panel navigation manually or if there is a new tool.

Does anybody knows if there are a Panel Wizard tool in the LabVIEW DSC 8?

thanks

I am very glad that the Panel Wizard is now

I am glad because it produced horedous code that was riddled with race conditions, huge diagrams and was difficult to support.

DSC 8 includes an example XControl that mimics the behavior of the old panel wizard.  Because it's an example program I recommend copying the code from the DSC examples folder to your project before using it. 

To use the XControl, place the <LVDIR>\examples\lvdsc\XControls\Panel Launcher\Panel Launcher XControl\PanelWizard.xctl on your front panel.  Right-click the control to configure the "panel launcher".  You can also open <LVDIR>\examples\lvdsc\XControls\Panel Launcher\Panel Launcher Demo.vi to see several examples of how to use the XControl.
