Allow the Front Panel Window to be Closed While Keeping the Block Diagram Open

[Nathan_S]

Every time I need to open up several VI's at the same time, my Windows Taskbar becomes full of open windows and it gets hard to wade through everything.  Part of the reason for this is that every time a VI is opened, two windows have to be opened to view the block diagram (both the front panel and the block diagram).  I would like to see a fix that allows me to just have several block diagrams open at one time without their front panels, making it easier to deal with the numerous open windows I get sometimes.

Once upon a time I had an option in my Tools file menu that would do this.  I can't track down where I downloaded that utility VI though...  It was somewhere on this site..

I'm sure I've seen this proposed before but I'll happily give more kudos to a good idea. 🙂

Then all we need is a connector pane icon in the BD and we'd be done with useless panels for sub VIs! 😉
