sub vi front panel opens when main vi opens

[Brent W]

When I open my main vi I have one of my sub vi front panels that opens.  I looked in the properties for the sub vi and Show front panel when loaded is NOT checked. Is there something else I need to look at?

You might have a property node that is being call to open the front panel. Look to see if there is a reference to the sub VI somewhere in your code.

Check the (evil) SubVI Node Setup. This is not part of the actual VI, but is a right-click option setting off the icon of the sub-vi...

It is not check marked in the SubVI node setup either. I am new to LabVIEW and it is quite possible I checked something I shouldn't have, but I just haven't found it yet

please clarify;

Q1)

The sub-VI FP opens when

You open the top VI but BEFORE you run it

OR

The sub-VI FP opens after you start the top level VI

Q2)

If the above Q was after you run....

Is the sub-VI running or paused when it opens?

If it is puased you may have a breakpoint set in it.

A1) When I open the Top Level VI, the front panel of one of my SubVIs opens.  It is indepent of running the VI.

... read what Ben said, and as a double check, lets make sure in your first post you were talking about this....

Broken,

One notch down in your image is "Show ... When Loaded".

Right, but having those things checked that I circled would case the VI to open also, so the O.P. needs to check that out. Also, by Friday, I'm tired enough that SnagIt the only program I can manage. Check out the cool wave effect.

Yes, but those would only cause the problem to occur when the program runs and gets to the subVI.  Since It is only when the VI is opened, not run, then those check boxes mean have no effect on the problem.
