Can I remove a running subpanel VI?

Question

I have seen examples of inserting VIs into a subpanel, but when inserting a new VI, the code always removes the current VI and aborts it.
Is there a way to "swap out" a VI for another but keep it running in the background?

When you insert a sub vi into your sub panel generally it won't run you have to invoke a run method to run that vi and the same way it won't abort the vi. But generally we use to stop the vi using the set control value method because when you try to insert the same vi again it will give you an error. The sub panel will only insert a vi which is not running.
I'm getting the "VI in the wrong state" error when I try to swap two VIs back and forth. It only works the first time the VI is inserted into the subpanel (unless it's stopped). I was hoping I could swap VIs in and out of the subpanel while they continue to run. I have a bunch of clone VIs that the user wants to display. I wanted a method of keeping the screen size down to something reasonable.
