Open differents subvis on own main vi.... is it possible?

Hi Guys,
I have a litle dude.
I have a very good application and works well, i have main vi, it takes differents bottoms to open subvis with differents options or applications, but the problem is when i do the executable file, on xp open 2 files on the tab. One of them is named like exe file, and the another is the name of main file vi. And when i open any subvi, i can see the 2 windows openned.
I am asking myself if is it possible open the differents subvis on the main vi. Therefore, will open the differents subvis and when close the subvi, will come back to the main vi with the bottoms...
Only improving... I hope to see any example to do it...
Regards and thanks for the advises, Fonsi.

I'm not sure I understand your question perfectly, but if you want to open a window so that you can't access other LV windows at the same time, go to File>>VI Properties>>Window Appearance>>Custom and make it modal. That way, it will stay on top until you close it.
Another option of having all of them in the same window is calling all the VIs dynamically in a subpanel, but that will probably be more complicated than you like. You can search the LV user manual or help for "subpanel" to find out more.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

Opening subvi so the main vi is active

In the main program during execution when appropriate button is clicked subvi with a picture is called (chosen by case structure). The rest of the program (front panel) is blocked until the subvi window is closed - how can I open the subvi with a picture so it remains opened and the program goes further?
greetings,
Michal

You need a nonblocking dialog box. As RavensFan says the VI needs to be launched dynamically. Check the link in my signature, I wrote post about one possible implementation. What I show is just a simple "Are you sure..." kind of dialog, but it shows the basic process.

Subvi Loading when Main application is opened

Hello, I have a main application which I would like to sometimes launch a subvi which adds some additional calculations. My problem is that when I load the main application, the subvi loads aswell. I can close it and then it works fine to open and close etc. I have unchecked all the subvinode setup attributes as well as the vi proporties but this does not seem to change things. I have attached a pic of the vi hierarchy and the subroutine shows a red highlighted thread from the main application, not sure what this means. Any help would be appreciated!!

Hi, I have attached a back panel view of the Vi and it's properties, the subvi which I am trying to load is in the case structure. These are the current settings I am using and now it seems to not open the subi when it loads but now another problem. If I use the boolean control to open the vi it trys to open but sits underneath the main vi and does not respond to any actions. Everything works great until I build the application then it goes wonky!!

Is it possible to open multiple subvi's at the same time?

Hi All,
I have a main vi that calls many subvis like real time display,graph...
Suppose i have to view the real time display and without closing the window i have to view graph also.
But when i am trying to do like that its not seems to be working.
I was able to open only one window at a time.
How to open multiple subvis at a time?
Thanx in advance

A lot depends on how you have designed your application.
- you can configure your sub-vis to have their FP open when running. Click on the subVI FP icon and select VI Properties. Go to Window appearance, select Customize and then Show Front Panel when called. That way, the FP window will remain open during execution.
Of course, I suppose that this is not exactly what you are looking for.
You can use property nodes to open or close programmatically a subVI FP.
In the Application control subpalette, get Open VI reference, use it to call your subVI, wire the FP.Open property node and you should be almost done. See the attached diagram.

Why is 11.1.3 opening all on its own?

The app is opening randomly on its own and even after I close the app and force close it in some instances, it continuously opens and I can't accomplish a thing as it starts playing music...and randomly starts and stops the song. It is very weird and annoying. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a ton!

my iTunes has stopped the annoying issue... but I have no idea how I stopped it. I think, after I downloaded iTunes from the App store again - it took another 2 days and rectified itself. Sorry I can't be of help and hope you all manage to have this issue resolved.

Bom Dia Saille,
Eu acredito que o que você tenha hoje seja isso aqui (Desenho bem simplificado):
Hoje o que você tem é o Aplicativo do Medidor + USB Driver controlando o seu medidor. Basicamente, sua aplciação está dividida em três camadas:
Aplicação - Onde estão as funcionalidades principais do programa (interface com o usuário, apresentação de dados, geração de arquivos, etc.)
VISA - Uma arquitetura de Software para controle de instrumentos. Basicamente, ele se comunica com o Driver USB para poder enviar e receber pacotes de dados através do barramento USB.
Device Driver - Intruções de SW de baixo nível para controlar um periférico através de um barramento.
No desenho, eu aponto duas camadas onde você pode tentar atuar para automatizar suas medições:
Aplicação - Você pode usar o VI Server para controlar o Aplicativo do Medidor (Se este aplicativo tiver sido desenvolvido em LabVIEW, o que eu suponho ser verdade). No entanto é necessário saber se o desenvolvedor do produto permitiu isso (Veja Using VI Server to Pass Data Between a VI and a LabVIEW Executable). Outra alternativa é conversar com o fabricante para ver se ele desenvolveu alguma API (Application Programming Interface) para que você consiga controlar o instrumento diretamente.
VISA - O LabVIEW Fornece uma API chamada NI-VISA para poder enviar e receber informações através de diversos barramentos (Veja Serial Instrument Control Tutorial)
É possível acessar o Driver diretamente também, mas eu não recomendo. O resultado não compensa o esfroço!
Espero ter esclarecido suas dúvidas e espero que você tenha sucesso na sua aplicação!!
Atenciosamente.

Itunes opens on it's own when headphones connected

Itunes opens on it's own when headphones are connected and also starts/stops playing on it's own completely randomly.
Extremely annoying - No problems at all when headphones are not connected.
Crazy - Surely Apple must be aware of this and create a fix.

Let them finish downloading. It's going to keep doing it until you do.
Then look on the Summary tab - is that your account listed? Were you charged for them?
Who knows, maybe iTS support put them in your DL queue by mistake. I can tell you I'm not getting them, so it's not happening to everyone!

ITunes 11.0.1 keeps opening up on its own.

Hi all. I have Win 7 64 bit. I have disabled wifi synch I beleive as well as home sharing. Would appreciate any help from anyone as its driving me nuts.
iTunes will invariably open up on its own no matter what I am doing. if I close it, then in 15 mins or so will do it again.
I've learned to just keep it open as a stop-gap measure but hope someone can offer some advice.
Thanks

Woohoo !
It's nothing to worry about and it's certainly not a virus (there aren't any that affect Macs) - it's the icon from an application in your Utilities folder called X11. You can safely click on it, drag it off the dock and it will disappear in a puff of smoke. If it has a a little blue blob under it it means that the app is open so click and hold the icon on the dock and select quit and then drag it off the dock.
It's also worth looking in System Preferences>Users & Groups (if you're on Lion) Accounts (if you're Leopard/Snow Leopard) and click on the Login items tab and check X11 isn't listed. If it is, click on the minus sign to remove it from startup items.
Not sure what X11 is for, I've never used it, but I think it might be something to do with programming (probably wrong though )
Edited to add: Looking at your pic again it has got a blob under it so I reckon it's launching at startup, so do as I suggest with login items or click and hold the icon on the dock and deselect 'Open at Login' under 'Options'.

How to display current context while opening a todo entry from main menu

Hi,
I want to display the current context(account,sp details for customer) while opening a todo entry from main menu while searching through To do entry id.
Can any body guide me on this ?
Thanx.
Sunil

I am sorry that I didn't get back to all you guys that took to answering my very promptly. Unfortunately I was not in a position to answer to the suggestions made. as I was away from my computer which had Robohelp on.
Anyway, I did try a couple of scripts mentioned, but didn't really have any success i achieving what I need to do.
I set up a redirect which redirected to the main home page. I tried setting the home page in a main sub-project - so the redirect when from any sub project
Generate
     Master-project.htm (Home Page = Help_Welcome.htm)
merged Projects
SubProject1
            [Home Page = home_redirect.htm (a redirect see below) ]
     SubProject 2
            [Home Page = home_redirect.htm (a redirect see below) ]
     SubProject 3
            [Home Page = home_redirect.htm (a redirect see below) ]
home_redirect.htm (a redirect use by sub-topics)

//]]></script>
This setup works fine as long as I call the master page. The TOC is as I would want. However if I call an ID from my application I get the required page to display and I can get the TOC to show. The problem is that the TOC is from the current sub-project and not the master project as I would want.

Finder suddenly started opening folders in their own window

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone knows what might cause Finder to suddenly start opening folders in their own window even though the Finder preference to do that is unchecked? Before this started happening, all folders would open in the same window (the default behavior).
This happens whether I have my external keyboard plugged in or not and I've verified that the Command, ALT & Control keys are not stuck in any way on both the MBP keyboard and the external keyboard. I've also shutdown the MBP and restarted just to be sure.
Ideas? Is there a command line setting that I should look at or some config file that would tell me if it's incorrectly set?
Rey...

Two things to try:
1) check the box in Finder > Preferences > General tab, then relaunch Finder, then go back and UNcheck that box, and relaunch Finder again (to relaunch Finder, hold the option key and click-and-hold the Finder icon in the dock, then select Relaunch, or use Apple menu > Force Quit)
2) trash the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist, then restart (the OS will recreate the plist file; sometimes they become corrupt)

it's not an explotion it's a defect with the battery which makes it expand and breaking the case in the process but it's not an explotion and it is not so fast it can cause harm
