subpanel visibility in wrong tab

[surfhippo]

(LabView 7.1) I have a tab control with subpanels. When the sub-VI associated with a given subpanel is called *and* the tab is not exposed, nevertheless often (not always) the subpanel contents appear on the currently visible tab. Apparently this requires that the control on the sub-VI front panel (e.g. a graph) is not only updated, but also that its properties are manipulated. The enclosed demo shows this behaviour (make sure that the path is correct for loading the sub-VI "Test SubPanel Visibility Sub-VI.vi" in "Test SubPanel Visibility.vi"). Thus, when "Refresh Graph" is activated with subpanel "Page 2" visible and "Modify Graph" false, all is well. If, instead, "Modify Graph" is true (which enables property node modification in the sub-VI), then the graph in the subpanel "Page 1" typically shows through.

Thanks for any help,

HI Sufhippo,

I seem to remeber that as a bug in LV 7.1. The only thing I can suggest (other than an upgrade to pick-up the bug-fix) is to set the object invisable if the tab page is not being viewed.

Sorry but that is all I can do to help,

Ok - This solution helps (though kludgy). Thanks for verifying that this is a bug!

What version was it fixed in or what is the bug ID?
