Hiding taskbar icon.

[Tifa]

When I launch MS Access using ActiveX in Labview, I can hide the window of Access using Property node with property visible = false. However, this doesn't hide the Access icon in the Windows taskbar. How can I hide it? My goal is to make the communication with Access invisible to the user of my programme.

It'll be easier to hide the whole taskbar.

You can use the hide window option of the show window fuction in the
user32.dll for windows. Docs and help at vbapi.com.

http://vbapi.com/ref/s/showwindow.html to be exact.

You may also need to hide the additional taskbar entry that labview adds by
default.

Do this by adding HideRootWindow=True to your labview or exe ini file.
