to run my application as invisible (on backround)

[Balaji_DP]

hi,

         I have an application for Datalogging with OPC server. as i want to run the EXE in memory with invisible as a background to logg the datas..

i tried with using vi reference--property nodes..  i can only hide the window....but i want to hide on taskbar itself... it should not show the vi is running or not to the user, also would be run automatically at start-up on windows..

. find and suggest me how to do this application...?..

Hi skanchap@…,

afaik you can use the invoke node of the vi with the function FP.open, use the hidden state.

I searched these forums with the following text "run labview as a service"

See this thread:

Have you tried to add following line in your .ini file for your exe ?

    hideRootWindow=TRUE

hi,

        thank you , this FireDaemon Service Manager is quite more interesting... its working well.. but, i have been working in labview application developing from the past 3 years, in labview i found nothing to be impossible, i am a right?..so, i want to do my application with labview itself only... not with third party software..

also i tried with vi reference--->front panel-- state...but  its hidding only the front panel, its showing on taskbar....its just look like window as minimise.. i dont want that type of aplication...i want to hide completly from my window... it should show only on the task manager, as the exe is running or not..
