Nishant:In order to hide the VI Front Panel Window, do the following :- - At the beginning of the top-level VI, open a reference to the top-level VI using the Open VI Reference function, located in the Functions » All Functions » Application Control subpalette.
- Wire the vi reference output of the Open VI Reference to the reference input terminal of a Invoke Node function, located in the Functions » All Functions » Application Control subpalette.
- Select the Open FP method and set the state of the Front Panel to Hidden.
- Close the reference to the VI using the Close Reference function, located in the Functions » All Functions » Application Control subpalette.

- Hiding the Windows Taskbar Entry:
- After building the top-level VI into an executable,
open its corresponding .ini file. In LabVIEW 7.1 and previous, LabVIEW
does not automatically create an .ini file for you upon building of the
executable. Running the VI once will create this .ini file
automatically (it will be empty).
- Verify that the top line of the ini file is [Application] where "Application.exe" is the name of your executable file.
- Add HideRootWindow = True to the .ini file. This will hide the Windows Taskbar Entry for the executable.
- Finally,
make sure the modified .ini file is placed in the same directory as the
executable when the stand-alone application is taken to the target mach
The above mentionned steps should allow you to run the executable in the background. I hope this helps and please let me know if I can be of any help.Regards,Rudi N.
