Close top vi front panel while sub vi front panel run

Hello,
I'm writing wiring a program and  have several (several several several .. ) VI which launches Sub-VI with their front panel.
During there Sub VI, the Front Panel of the Top-VI get bored behind...
Is it possible to Hide this Front Panel while the sub-VI is running.
Thanks

  • What is the best way of converting a Top Level VI into a 'sub vi' - or function ( without duplicating programming)

    Hi,
    General question here about design architecture, which i keep running into, but haven't found a really good solution.  If i write a 'Top Level VI' to do something, what is the best way of converting it into a subVI - which is call-able from other VIs, while still allowing the top level VI to have synchronised feedback/indicator updates.
    I guess the point is that when something is a top level VI you write gui logic about what happens when someone clicks buttons or whatever - which you don't want in the 'sub vi' version.
    I did at one point try having a hidden boolean button that was an input to the subVI which would let the VI know if it was supposed to be doing the front panel stuff - or simply running as a subVI.  This isn't really ideal though - since it would be better to be able to hive off the grizzly useful stuff from the fluffy - front panel updating stuff - having them together makes the VIs rather untidy.  More annoyingly though, if you have the front panel version of it running - say waiting for you to hit 'go', it breaks all the other VIs that use it as a sub vi - since they can't compile when a sub vi is already running.
    Another possibility that i tried was to basically duplicate the vi so that there was a backend part, and a front end part - and when i click 'go' the backend part is called as a sub vi.  The problem with this is that it really limits the interface that the user gets - since none of the controls on the front panel update with the results untill the sub vi is over.  I guess again i could solve this by passing references to some of the controls to update them in the subvi - but this doesn't really seem like the ideal situation if the subvi is called by something else without the same types of controls etc.
    One final idea i had was to essentially paste all the controls in the VI into a global variable file, and make the sub vi update them, and the front panel VI read from them.  This seems to 'work' - although clearly it is a work around rather than a proper solution - since i spend loads of time worrying about how i update cluster variables in the global - reading and writing.
    Does anyone have any guidance on what they do to solve this problem?

    You could run a subvis in a Subpanel on your top level.  Lets you see the current data while the subvi is running.

  • LabVIEW closes while VI's are still running in the background

    I have created a large application that is split between VB 6 and LV 6.1. The LabVIEW portion runs in the background, except that the VB portion can request that a LabVIEW user interface be presented on demand. Any time after this LabVIEW user interface has been opened and closed, opening and closing another application (or even just hiding a top-level window in another application) will cause LabVIEW to close, taking my background processing with it.
    If the LabVIEW code is running as source code, LabVIEW prompts me before closing. However, when the LabVIEW code is running as an executable (.exe), the executable closes without prompting in this circumstance.
    The scenario can be reproduced with a standard LabVIEW sample program. Proceed as follows:
    1) Open VBToLV.vbp (the example program distributed with LabVIEW 6.1).
    2) Start the VB program running.
    3) Press the Launch LabVIEW button on the user interface of the VB program.
    4) Enter an expression in the text box provided.
    5) Select Display VI Front Panel.
    6) Press the Run VI button.
    7) Close the VI front panel by clicking its "X" button.
    8) Open any handy application, such as Windows Explorer or Notepad.
    9) Close this most-recently-opened program.
    10) The LabVIEW Exit screen appears.
    11) Exit LabVIEW.
    12) Press the Run VI button.
    13) An error occurs because LabVIEW has closed.
    If the LabVIEW code had been built into an executable and called accordingly, there would have been no LabVIEW exit screen. The executable would have just exited silently.
    This is not the way a COM server is supposed to behave. The VB program is still holding a valid reference to the server and it should remain open.
    It appears that LabVIEW is monitoring the total number of top-level windows that are open. I suppose that this is how LabVIEW figures out when its own FP windows have been closed. In this case, it doesn't notice that all of its windows have been closed until some other window closes.
    I have a work-around, but it's ugly.

    Hi,
    Perhaps you use references to windows in LabVIEW. If you get those
    references with a full path (e.g. c:\code\subvis\vi1.vi), this will work
    while in LabVIEW environment. But when an application is build, this will
    fail, because the vi is no longer there. Try using the name in a string
    instead (the OpenVIReference is polymorphic) with only the name of the vi in
    it (e.g. vi1.vi).
    There are some other isues that change when building an application. Most of
    them are paths that change, and references that fail to open because of
    them.
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

  • How can I programically make a top level VI panel invisible?

    How can I programically make a top level VI panel invisible?

    You can use VI Server's 'Close FP' method to close the front-panel. You will need a reference to that VI to invoke the method. One easy way is to launch the VI with the VI Server and hold on to its reference.
    See the attached diagram -- the top-level.vi is launched and run, we wait for 5 seconds, and then close its front-panel.
    Hope this gives you some ideas.

  • Can I set the stroke of an object to be on top/in front and the fill on the bottom/in back?

    Can I set the stroke of an object to be on top/in front and the fill on the bottom/in back?  I asked this question before and was told to go to appearance and drag the fill and stroke around as if they were a layer, but this did not bring my stroke to the top of the image.  Did I do this wrong somehow or is there another method?

    Erin,
    The default stacking order for an object with fill and stroke, such as a simple path, is that the stroke is on top and the fill is beneath it.
    You may change that in the Appearance palette, but it should not be necessary.
    Can you show a screenshot with the object and the Appearance palette and the Layers palette with the relevant (part of the) Layer expanded and visible?
    If things are really wrong, you may start considering going down this dark road:
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Script to Close all the collapsible panels on click of one collapsible panel

    Hi All,
    Please help me with modifying the script or a new script to suffice the following.
    I have around 5 to 6 collapsible panels in many html files. There is a huge content under each panel and thats the reason I want to collapse i.e., close all the open panels and open the panel that is clicked on.
    that is initially i click on panel 1 - > Panel 1 opens and contents are displayed.
    now I click on panel 2 - > panel 1 should close and panel 2 should open.
    Please help me acheive this.
    Thanks in advance.

    To close the remaining panels you can just use the onclick method and however many panels you have just add them to the list spacing them out with a " , "
    Here is an example of 3 panels that close and open, upon clicking on one of the panels.
    <div id="CollapsiblePanel1" class="CollapsiblePanel">
      <div class="CollapsiblePanelTab" tabindex="0" onclick="CollapsiblePanel2.close(),CollapsiblePanel3.close()">Tab 1</div>
      <div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">Long-Sleeve Prices</div></div>
    <div id="CollapsiblePanel2" class="CollapsiblePanel">
      <div class="CollapsiblePanelTab" tabindex="0" onclick="CollapsiblePanel1.close(),CollapsiblePanel3.close()">Tab 2</div>
      <div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">T-Shirt Prices</div>
    </div>
    <div id="CollapsiblePanel3" class="CollapsiblePanel">
      <div class="CollapsiblePanelTab" tabindex="0" onclick="CollapsiblePanel1.close(),CollapsiblePanel2.close()">Tab 3</div>
      <div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">Hat Prices</div>

  • How to Remove maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view [MAC]?

    Hi.
    My Q. is pretty much as the title implies.
    It's a small thing, and maybe kind of trivial,
    but I'd like to know how to get rid of the maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view in Adobe Reader on the Mac.
    I am definitely in fullscreen view [I hit command+L], just so you know,
    but I still have that top grey bar showing with the maximize/minimize/close buttons [the red, yellow, and green].
    As I said, kind of a trivial concern, but I'd like to know how to hide that in full-screen mode.
    I tried searching around a few places for an answer, but there is nothing too obvious.
    I can't find anything in the full-screen preferences of reader either. Maybe I'm missing something...
    Thanks!

    Version 11.0 , so I guess that is the most recent?
    I think this is an application-specific problem too, because I don't encounter this in full-screen mode with other applications.

  • Valid signature required at bottom. not at top or signature panel.

    I am using Adobe Reader X. When i did validate signature.. green tick mark is coming either top or signature panel side. I required this on exact place of signature. Actually this was working in old versions of adode reader. This feature is not coming on proper place of Adobe reader x. Please provide the solution on this ASAP.

    Dan:
    The keyword pane used for assigning them to photos cannot be added to the info pane at the window. It's the nature of the beast. You can put in a feature request at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. I've not used it but Keyword Manager might be less obtrusive and work better in the smaller screen of the MBP. You can find it at VersionTracker.com and run it in demo mode.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Top and bottom panel suddanly disappeared.

    Top and bottom panel suddanly disappeared. Reboot does not help. I did not install anything before this happened. sudo pacman -Syu does not help.
    What happened and how do I fix it permanently?

    Ok - forget what I just posted. Need more coffee. If you press alt+F2, and type in "xfce4-panel &" and press run, it should start automatically in future sessions. Not sure what caused it to stop suddenly though.

  • Why the execution time increases with a while loop, but not with "Run continuously" ?

    Hi all,
    I have a serious time problem that I don't know how to solve because I don't know exactly where it comes from.
    I command two RF switches via a DAQ card (NI USB-6008). Only one position at the same time can be selected on each switch. Basically, the VI created for this functionnality (by a co-worker) resets all the DAQ outputs, and then activates the desired ones. It has three inputs, two simp0le string controls, and an array of cluster, which contains the list of all the outputs and some informations to know what is connected (specific to my application).
    I use this VI in a complex application, and I get some problems with the execution time, which increased each time I callled the VI, so I made a test VI (TimeTesting.vi) to figure out where the problem came from. In this special VI I record the execution time in a csv file to analyse then with excel.
    After several tests, I found that if I run this test VI with the while loop, the execution time increases at each cycle, but if I remove the while loop and use the "Run continuously" funtionnality, the execution time remains the same. In my top level application I have while loops and events, and so the execution time increases too.
    Could someone explain me why the execution time increases, and how can I avoid that? I attached my test VI and the necessary subVIs, as well as a picture of a graph which shows the execution time with a while loop and with the "run continuously".
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    If you are still using the RUn Continuously you should stop. That is meant strictly for debugging. In fact, I can't even tell you the last time I ever used it. If you want your code to repeat you should use loops and control the behavior of the code.

    -'''<u>use Firefox to download</u>''' and <u>'''SAVE to your hard drive'''</u> (save to Desktop for easy access)
    ~~red:-See the images at the bottom left of this post to see the steps to take on the Adobe site~~
    -exit Firefox (File > Exit)
    -In Windows: check to see that Firefox is completely closed (''Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window'')
    -In Windows: double-click on the Adobe Reader installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Reader
    *<u>'''NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7'''</u> you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
    *'''<u>NOTE for IE:</u>''' Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version. To install/update the IE ActiveX version, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX installer. See: [[ActiveX]]

    Will not complete a sync without crashing and saying cannot read to the device or something to that effect.
    That sounds familiar.
    Just doublechecking ... have you worked through the suggestions from the following document in the course of your troubleshooting to date?
    [What to do when Windows displays a blue screen error message or restarts when syncing the iPhone or iPod touch|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502]
    (The stuff I was worried about in my initial reply has since been documented in its own troubleshooting document. Some of the symptoms of that are covered in: [iTunes for Windows: System restarts, blue screen, or quits unexpectedly when accessing iTunes Store|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3441] )
