Start Modal Dialog VI should have VI Reference input so it can be called from subVI

[ScottTron]

The Start Modal Dialog VI currently needs to be placed on the block diagram of the VI that needs to be modal.  This means that you can't put it in a subVI with logic around it.  If a VI reference input were added to the VI (with the default being the calling VI) then you could keep the same functionality but have the option of calling this from a subVI.  

For those that are running into this, there used to be a workaround here:

But the link in this forum is now broken.  I'll post back if I find the answer.

Found the answer! This was already done in 2014!  I was using 2013.  I guess I had a really good idea, but NI was ahead of me 🙂  Anyway, on the DF link I posted, there is a solution if you are using 2013 or earlier as well.
