Programmatically Fire Events for a VI Inside a Sub VI Front Panel Using LabVIEW

[Scott_G]

Overview

This VI Programmatically Fire Events for a VI Inside a Sub VI Front Panel

Description

When designing an application, we wants to have different user interfaces of different applications. Such behavior enables us to change the application we wants to fire, using our main application as a template which fires our desired VI (which implements as a subVI). This example shows how to launch a subVI and put its front panel inside a sub panel on the main VI. Then it shows how to fire events within that subVI.

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 or compatible

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Run the V

2. Click Generate Event to fire a Value Change event inside the VI in the sub panel

3. Click the Stop button in the sub panel to stop both VI’s

Hmmm... this is helpful.  I am wondering how to do the opposite.  I want to fire events in the host VI programmatically from the current sbupanel.  Any idea how to do this?  The reason is because I want to be able to switch subpanels from the current subpanel.
