running an executable many times

[samerham1]

Hi,

I did an executable from the VI enclosed...I made the event "front panel closed ?"  in order to hide the executable (like a ghost)

The problem: when the executable is hidden and then I click on its icon in order to display it: it's not working
                       I put a "Maximzed" state but it doesn't work as well...

Could you help me ?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Your VI doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You're discarding the panel close in order to hide the front panel. Once it's hidden it's.. well, hidden. I would think you would want to minimize it. As I said, please explain what you're trying to do.

I want to do the following: once it is hidden, if I want to display it again, how should i do ?

Once the VI is hidden it loses focus from the OS. Therefore you need some other mechanism to trigger the VI to reopen its front panel. A simple way to do this is to have the VI monitor the keyboard, and if it sees a certain key combination, it will resize itself. For example:

I didn't find the keyboard controls....Could you tell me where are they ?

Connectivity -> Input Device Control. Remember: the function palette has a search feature.
