Need a little more information.  Are you launching the window from LabVIEW?  Is it Windows OS?

Hi wenjie1wang,

 

I have attached an example that uses the "Call Library Function Node" that accesses the "user32.dll" file that is responsible for manipulating with the windows such as minimising it. 

 

After opening the VI you have to enter the name of the window you want to minimise, you can hard code that as a constant. Also on the front panel the control "nCmdShow" can be changed to dictate the action you want to do with the window. 

 

Furthermore, please look at the Microsoft Developers Network to find more useful ways to use the property node in your project.

Let me know if this works.
