abort in runtime

[delco]

I am experiencing a problem when running a compiled vi (using the runtime engine).

Basically, when running the exe (compiled VI), the "abort" button is missing from the toolbar - no matter how I set up the "vi properties" prior to compile. Also, the "stop" function appears under the "operation" menu during execution, but doesn't do anything when selected.

Very puzzled...

A built application should typically not even show the tool bar. The target user should not need to knowhow to operate and use labview specific buttons like that.

Set it to "run when opened" and capture a FP stop button or e.g. the windows close event to stop it in case you need some orderly shutdown. The VI should always be running during use, even just waiting for new input. The items in the toolbar are more useful in the edit environment. 🙂
