Run Labview exe silently

[F._Schubert]

One way would be a windows system service.

But there are some operations you wont be able to do (File dialog).

So far I only have used this together with a program that controls the Service and has the FPs showing, but the service is restricted to not showing it (by Win).

Something I can recall from the past but I didn't check it.

Did you try configuring the window of your vi 'no title bar' and such?

HideRootWindow=True to my understanding only disabled the 'lvrt'dll' item on the taskbar.

• Go to VI Properties (Ctrl+I).
• Under Window Appearance click "Customize"
• Check "Window Runs Transparently". Set Transparency to 100%
• Un-check "Allow User to Minimize Window"

If a window cannot be minimized, Windows will not show it in the taskbar.

You can also use a VI property node to set the Front Panel state to "Hidden". But the key is to un-check "Allow User to Minimize Window".

Make sneaky background processes! Fool your friends and coworkers! Fun for everyone!

For me, this works only if I start the VI as VI, but not if I use the VI as an executable. Im am using Win7.

Is there any other way to do this?
