Minimizing LabVIEW application to system tray or running it as a Windows process

[GerdW]

Hi Nitin,

did you read message #4? It's all you need - when putting the icon to the tray you can minimize or hide the frontpanel...

Hi GredW,

               Actually what you say is correct but when i minimize my front panel i can also see the Taskbar icon of my front panel since i only need the icon to be displayed in the system tray icon .How can i remove that??? Also in my project what i want is even if close my Front panel the program should run in background and display that in my system tray icon list that it is running.How can i do that??

Thanks,

Nitin

Hi Nitin,

you need to hide the frontpanel and additionally use the INI file key HideRootWindow (set to TRUE)...
