Hide LabVIEW icon of executable from the taskbar


I am working on a project on which I call some LabVIEW programs which are executables. I don't want to see what happens on these one, so I set the transparency of the front panel at 100%. Like this, I don't see the labVIEW program. After the execution, LabVIEW is quitting automatically.

However, when LabVIEW is running, I have the icon of labVIEW in the taskbar of windows.

Do you know how to hide it? I already tried to add HideRootWindow=True on the .ini file but it is not working.


Solution

  • According to this solution by Alexander Sobolev:

    For application.exe in file application.ini add row HideRootWindow=True
    When you activate VI, set VI-> Property node Front Panel window.Minimizable = True, show window (invoke node VI.Open, window state = standard).
    When hiding, you need to track that, set Minimizable = False
    Taskbar icon will appear and disappear with window
    

    He also provides the code (which should be "draggable" to labview to run):
