LabVIEW
How do I make labview quit completely when I close a project?
try this...as you press the "red X" , panel closes down with "quit LV" completly shutdown of application only if it is a "stand alone/run time engine" executable
I think he means when you close out the last LabVIEW window in dev mode.
It's simple - just select "exit" from any of the file menus.

So in the latest verson of Labview that I have (2012) Labview doesn't quit when you close a project or standalone VI. Instead it opens up a Labview browser that shows recent projects, has links to find drivers, forums, etc.
I want labview to quit when I close a project with the red X. Is there a setting to do that, or do I have to close my project, wait for the Labview browser to finish reloading itself, then quit that?
Closing a project doesn't mean you want to quit LabVIEW. To exit LabVIEW press Ctrl+Q.

A better way here would be to use the Discard? input. In the RUN_TIME_ENGINE == TRUE case, put in a FALSE constant and a TRUE in the default. If there are no front panels open and there is no code running, the Run Time Engine will shut down. It is a lot cleaner than the Quit LabVIEW function since you can close things down properly.
But from the Dev Environment, CTRL+Q will quit LabVIEW. Otherwise, just close the getting started window when it comes back up. As was said, just because you close your project does not mean you are ready to close LabVIEW.

You need to be careful here. I often have several projects open and I assume you only want to quit LabVIEW once the last one is closed.
Basically you want to eliminate the return to the welcome screen at the end. This seems silly.
As others have said, build a standalone executable and make sure it closes itself.

If I have several projects open at a time, I just close them until I get the welcome screen. What's one more click among friends? 😉
