Can i use a button in my main front panel to break out of a while loop
in the subVI during execution?
1. how to pass stop button's boolean value to subvi's subvi
There is a stop button on my main vi and the boolean value could be passed to subvi using control reference. So the subvi could stop when the stop button on main vi's front panel is pressed. My question is how I can pass that boolean value to nested subvi, so once the stop button in main vi is pressed, all nested subvi stop? Thanks.
2. control two functions using a button
3. get main vi control or indicator from subvi using cluster reference
4. To replace the Run button on toolbar to a user control Start button
5. run a subvi by pressing a button multiple times
Hi, You have to run it dynamically, with the Run VI method. This method can optionally wait or not. Before running the VI, you have to set the controls with the method Set Control Value (or Set Control Value [Variant]). There are several ways to read back values from dynamically started VI's. One is to use a buffer (lv2 global). Another is to use the Get Control Value method. It's complicated, but if you put all this code in a sub vi, you'll end up with a nice main... Regards, Wiebe.

6. closing subvi with a button?
7. Show/hide mainVI button in subVI loop
Lihui: From your sub-vi, you can et Control Value?of a Boolean idebutton?(just for the lack of better names) in main.vi to true using vi property node. (Or you can also write to a global variable that can be accessed in main.vi) In the main.vi, you can wire it to a case structure (or better yet to a dynamics events structure in LabVIEW 7.0), which has the property node/visible set to false inside it. When Boolean hide button is set to true, you will be able to hide the button. You could set visible to true in when boolean "hidebutton" is false as well if it's convinient for you I hope this helps, FightOnSCTrojan
