Open and Close Reentrant Vi's By Reference

[steveg417]

Hi. I'm trying to open and close a reentrant vi by reference. The attached vi "Delete Test.vi" shows how I open the vi "Message - Show Jumps.vi", which opens just fine. However, when I press the OK button on "Message - Show Jumps.vi" the vi will only stop executing. I also want the front panel to close. If I run this vi on its own (by pressing the Run arrow) and then press the OK button it closes without a problem. Does anyone know how to close the front panel of a reentrant vi that is called by reference? Thank you.

A quick solution is not to re-open a reference to itself. The invoke node (not property node) FP.Close. when dropped into a Panel w/out any reference wired into itself will take the reference of the calling VI.

Also when I run this, the re-entrant VI does not stay running. I would consider this an issue too, no?
