Paraller operations in several VI's

Question

hello,
I'm looking for any pieces of informations about opportunity of
operating on several VI's parallerly.
Explanation (we would like to our application working in following way)
We have one main VI (user interface), and we call subVI (which is visible on
the top of user interface and isn't modal window). After that we want to
open next subVI from the user interface VI level, without closing this
previous one (previous is working in the "background"). Further we should
have opportunity of changing active window between those to opened windows.

Answer 1

Yes you can do this but it's pretty non-intuitive.
I think it's in the advanced palette? You need to open a VI by r
eference.
There's several important settings like "close window if originally closed"
and "auto-dispose reference when done" and "open front panel" which you will
need to set. A couple of them do not regard the settings in VI Properties
and need to be set manually.
This should give you the behavior you want. If you need further explanation
let me know. There's some mention of this in the online help, but I've got
the flu so I didn't have time to look up a good reference for you.
