2 VIs open when I double-click main.vi in project manager

Solved!
Go to solution

When I open my main.vi from project manager another vi opens up with it. Not really a problem but a little strange and annoying. LV2011.

If it is always the same VI that opens, that VI is probably set to open its front panel when loaded.  Look in VI Properties->Window Appearance->Customize.  Right-hand Left-hand side, bottom checkbox.

Of course. Don't remember setting it, though. Smiley Happy

If you ever setup the VI as a top level application window in the Appearance settings, that would have checked the option.  If you went from that to customize, you would have had to manually uncheck it.

That's what happened. This vi is a top-level from another application.
