Ok, I will try that out tonight and reply tomorrow if it worked out.

Whats bugging me is the while loop. The VIs that I design all run onto a C++ Skript (build in as a subVI) that is taking care of the data I/O. I hope the loop will not bug the C skript....

Thanks a lot so far!!

Thank you for the fast answers.

Sorry about the cross postings, will not happen again.

Ok, I tried a few things:

- configuration of VI property. Dont really help, either (Sub)VI will be loaded/run on startup or the user has to click it in the Backpanel to have the VI popup.

But how can I call it dynamically from the Frontpanel?

- Open VI reference. Still working on this one. Seems that it needs the VI server. That would be a restriction. I need to call the VIs one by one without the VI server. All VIs are located on one computer. My "Menu VI" handles all other VIs, I want to select any VI in the frontpanel and call it (action Button?).

- Examples like "Menu selection Demo" was my first attempt, but they are too komplex, I think.

I am looking for something like "Run URL on Button action (frontpanel) >> execute item, Path://*stringvariable*"

Is it so obvious or do I think too Actionscriptish???

Hi Everybody,

I am new to labviews so to this forum.

Here we go, I am building a group of about 20 VIs, all differ from each

other, no SubVIs. The customer`s wish is to trigger every single VI seperatly

with a button from a "Menu VI". So the startup VI is only a "Menu", and to

save hardware and network resources, only the "triggered" VIs should open

and run.

What I tried so far: I placed a VI in the Backpanel of the "Menu VI",

pressing it calls the VI, ok.. cool. But its invisible on the Frontpanel

and it is treated as a SubVi.

My Qestion, how can I place a button (or similar) on the frontpanel to call

and execute another (standalone) VI?

thx in advance
