How to load a VI into a dynamically selected SubPanel?

Solved!
Go to solution

I would like to dynamically select a subpanel for which to load a VI into.  I modified the LabVIEW Help example "Multiple VIs in a Subpanel.vi" to illustrate my issue. 

 

I understand the static example.  It works fine. 

 

I have a situation where I have several subpanels and a number of Plugin VIs.  Here is an example of how I thought I might be able to code it.  What is wrong?  I understand this may be pushing scripting a little bit too far. 

 

A fall back is to use explicit instead of the implicit Insert VI Method.  But that is not as elegant of code and not as scalable.

Your code has the VI trying to edit itself.  Which is not allowed.

The "Create.Control Ref" method creates a reference on the block diagram of the VI that owns the SubPanel (which is itself).

Try the attached VI instead.

Your example VI works.

I understand now and I thank you for your explanation.
