Hi,
I am trying to run a LabVIEw executable in the background, but none of the methods described in the discussion forum and on ni.com seems to be working. I am using LV 2011 on a Win 7 64-bit machine in case this matters.
I tried the method described in "How Do I Run an Executable in the Background as a Start-Up Application?" (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/4A8B626B55B96C248625796000569FA9?opendocument&Submitted&&node=133020_US), but I still see a fragment of a window at the bottom near the start-button (Exhibit 1). Exhibit 2 shows that it only consists of the title bar. (I have customized the window appearance as described, and added the two items
HideRootWindow=True
UseTaskBar=FALSE
to the *.ini file.)
I also tried disabling all the other items in the Customize Window Appearance menu with the same result.
Then I tried the method described in "Running a LabVIEW Executable as a Background Process" (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/EFEAE56A94A007D586256EF3006E258B) adding the FP.Open method to the VI and setting the state to hidden. I got the same result (Exhibit 1).
Is there anything I need to do in addition or different for my windows version? I appreciate your help. Thank you.
