During my time at NI Week I decided to bring my video camera and record the presentations, Tech Theater and LAVA BBQ. Please see this link for Video downloads The IT department of my company was also kind enough to setup a ftp server so I could share them with the community It took a while to figure out how to compress the 5GB HD .mts files to a more distributable avi format but with the help of crelf I finally got them compressed and uploaded to the ftp sites. Vi Engineering and Distek Integration have also volunteered their ftp servers to help distribute the videos Thank you Chris and Ed for your help. The avi files can be downloaded from one of the 3 ftp sites they range in size from 150 to 300MB. I would strongly recomend using an ftp client to transfer them to your computer. A web browser may work but if you want to download multiple viedos the ftp client makes things much easier. To download videos from Distek they are requiring you to use an ftp client. My ftp client of choise is FileZilla and it is free. FileZilla can be downloaded at http://filezilla-project.org/ If you are unfamiliar with FileZilla there is a youtube tutorial video found here The video files are .avi and have been compressed using DivX If you player isn't able to play the videos you will need to install the free DivX codec found at http://www.divx.com/...plus/codec-pack to access the videos via Use this log in information ftp://frc.tecnova.com login: LabVIEW_Videos pw: LabVIEW login and password is case sensitive. if you are using Filezilla your site manager window will look like this.

For Username: NIWeek2012 Password: f7aPadl6 Please Note: You will not be able to access the FTP through a web browser! You MUST use an FTP Software Client to access the FTP. To access the ftp.distek.com please use your FTP software client: Client FTPS settings Hostname: ftp.distek.com Port: 990 Client Settings for SFTP using ssh ftp.distek.com Port 22 if you are using Filezilla your site manager window will look like this. If you have any issues downloading the videos or you are unable to view them please post to this topic. Enjoy, and hopfully the videos will help you learn something new about LabVIEW Mark

I am just guessing, but I'll bet this is done on purpose to avoid confusion about what happens when the subpanel is hosting a VI vs when it is not hosting a VI. Events on the subpanel tend to get routed to the VI it is hosting, so for consistency, events going to the middle of the subpanel tend to be dropped if there's nothing to receive them. In practice, it probably doesn't save you much --- I can't think of a way to make arbitrary drag-n-drop work without having two procedures, one in the host VI that handles drag-n-drop when there is no subVI hosted and another in each of the subVIs to tell the host to change. Ug. For the one in the host, I would suggest you should put a gray picture control over the top of the subpanel, use that as your drop target, and when it gets hit, hide the picture control. If you don't need to actually click on the subpanel, you could just make the picture control transparent and then leave it in play. But if you need to interact with it then any further drag-n-drop would need to be detected in the subVI. You *might* be able to make it work using "mouse enter" on the subpanel and using that to trigger unhiding the picture control. I don't know how the timing on that would work out -- unhiding a control might not cause the events chain to reevaluate its drop target. Or it might. You'd have to test.
