Using SubVIs (Mobile Module)
If a subVI requires user input to continue, you must set the subVI to show its front panel when called by enabling the Show front panel when called and Close afterwards if originally closed properties for the subVI because you cannot switch to the front panel of another VI. If you do not set Show front panel when called and Close afterwards if originally closed properties for a subVI that includes a front panel that displays on execution, the Mobile application behaves incorrectly.
Enabling Properties for a Single Instance of a SubVI
Complete the following steps to enable the Show front panel when called and Close afterwards if originally closed properties for a single instance of a subVI in a Mobile VI.
- Right-click the subVI icon on the block diagram and select SubVI Node Setup from the shortcut menu.
- Place checkmarks in the Show Front Panel when called and Close afterwards if originally closed checkboxes.
- Click the OK button.
Enabling Properties for All Instances of a SubVI
Complete the following steps to enable the Show front panel when called and Close afterwards if originally closed properties for all subVIs in a Mobile VI.
- Select VI Properties to open the VI Properties dialog box.
- Select Window Appearance from the Category pull-down menu.
- Click the Customize button to open the Customize Window Appearance dialog box.
- Place checkmarks in the Show front panel when called and Close afterwards if originally closed checkboxes.
