Loading the Front Panel of a VI executing in TestStand in a LV SubPanel

Hi,

 

I am trying to load the Front Panel of a VI in a SubPanel when this particular VI is running in TestStand (using LV2017 and TS2016 SP1). 

 

I am using the method shown here : https://forums.ni.com/t5/Example-Programs/Dynamic-LabVIEW-Subpanel-in-a-TestStand-User-Interface/ta-p/3635453, except I am using a UserMessage instead of the Trace UIMessage.

 

My TestStand sequence consists of 2 steps : 

- Statement Step sending the UserMessage. The path to the VI is retrieved and sent to LabVIEW UI by the UserMessage Callback.

- Action step executing the VI I want to show in the SubPanel. 

 

I then use an Open Reference and the Insert VI method of the SubPanel in the LabVIEW UI.

 

The problem is that the Front Panel is loaded in the SubPanel properly, but it is not updating during the execution of the VI (not displaying values in a waveform chart and not updating a boolean indicator). 

 

I also get a similar problem with the example in the link above. The Front Panel of the VI opens in a window and shows in the SubPanel. However, only the Front Panel in the window is being updated.

  

Thank you
