When the VI is loaded, it loads and creates the ActiveX Control with the
state that it was in when the VI was saved. It sounds like the ActiveX
control is always created visible or some such thing. You could make
the creation of the control happen in a subVI that is dynamically loaded
and displayed. This is really just transferring the problem to the
subVI, but if you want to edit the main panel without this in your way,
that may be a decent solution. Otherwis
e, you can perhaps look for
another player that play more nicely.
