Hi Vicen,

Just to clarify; you would like to create a VI which will result in pop-up windows in excel?

[vicens]

Sorry,

I would like to create a VI in which there are an empty main screen (perhaps a subpanel). This VI have some options and the user can select it. Each option show a pop up window, e.g. a XY graph, table...

But all windows are located in a delimited zone (this zone are conformed with the subpanel).

It really depends on how flexible you want it to be as to how hard it would get. It can be done using property nodes and doing the math to limit the size ans space that a window would take up and it initial location. It can be done but it would not be something that would be done easily.

It is straight forward to create an image as you have shown but interacting with those images can be complicated.

I a nut-shell

Use Picture and grab images of the FP you need and insert them in the picture.

Keep track of the bounds for each image. You will need taht info to map clicks to FPs.

When you see a mouse down on the pictue in the region of a FP, show the FP and possition it such that it overlaps the image.

let the user interact with the FP.

When done interacting get a fresh image, update the picture control and ide the FP.

have fun,

Ben
