how to show in the main front panel the progress of each sub Vi ?

[Mahisnair]

my program has many sub VIs, i wish to show in the main front panel the progress of each sub Vi; what is the best way to do that?

atleast i need to show that each sub vi is completed, [can i add details on the main front panelsuch as: filename that is being read by a subVi, graphs plotted by a subVi, etc..]

can i display a graph from a subVi on the front panel of the main Vi?

what i hv done is attched as picture.

Is the progress or status of the sub-vi's shown in the circles?  ie: above Date wise VI?

If the circles are controls (Silverlight boolean), then you could pass references of those booleans into the sub-vis.  You could change from True or False (red / green) or change the color of the control to perhaps yellow, blue, green red, etc to show status, using a Round Color box found in the Silverlight palette.

as suggested...pass references and cntrl references

@apok: what u showed is great and was what i needed, thank you for the reply 🙂

but i face a problem in my sub Vi when i try to do the same

the "property node" is used with a graph in Your Vi but in my Vi i hv an XY graph plotting clusters..

am getting this error

"You have connected two terminals of different types

  Type of the source is cluster of 2 elements

  Type of the sink is double   "

image attached is of the sub Vi

what should i do to get this graph in my main Vi ?

You are trying to wire a cluster of 1D array to a 1D array.  Maybe it sounds less confusing if I say it backwards...

follow example....from your example: it looks like your explicit property node wants a (dbl) data feed
