In this tutorial we will learn how we can set, the front panel states, of a VI, programmatically. We will see how we can make a VI's front panel stay always on top (modal window), using VI properties dialog box. We will see how we can use static VI reference constant to call another VI, whose front panel we will be manipulating from our main VI; how to configure it to point to a target VI. How to open the front panel of a called VI; set its front panel state; we will observe the behavior of different front panel states, such as, invalid, standard, closed, hidden, maximized and minimized; which of those are read-only and which are writable as well; lastly we will close the front panel of the called VI. We will implement this tutorial using LabVIEW's event handling structure.
