why does application run when opened

[eximo]

If I run the executable it pops up and automatically runs.  I had thought this was by design, but I have one application I built that does not automatically execute when called. I can't see any difference in the way I set them up, nor do I see a control in the application builder interface.

SOOOOooo, how do I keep the applications from automatically running when called?

This is done in the main VI's properties. See if you can find it in the attached screenshot.

 

You can also override it in the build spec.

Hi Eximo,

I think the option you are looking for is "Run when opened", this can be found by opening the VI and going to File>VI Properties

Then choose Execution as the category and on the right hand side there is an option labeled Run when opened.

I hope this solves the problem.
