2 buttons in task bar

[Klaus Hoelscher]

Hi there,

when starting my application 2 button will appear in the task bar. One
showing the caption name of my app plus icon and the other only showing
the caption name of my application w/o icon. Can somebody point my to
the reason for this behaviour and/or how to reduce it to only 1 button?

Thanks a lot

Klaus

Sounds like you have both the VI Front Panel and the VI Block Diagram open. Both panels always open when starting a new application - as Labview assumes you will want to create a VI AND edit its block diagram. Just close the Block Diagram panel if you are not editing the code. Hope I understood your question - Good Luck, Doug

Doug,
alas it is the "compiled" application I am speaking about, i.e. what the
user will get after he has installed the app.
There is no obvious sense for the second button (the one w/o the icon)
which appears in the task bar, since you can click on it but nothing
happens besides that it gets the focus for the time you hold the mouse
key pressed. But that's all. Very strange.

In the application ini file, place the line:

hidesystemroot=True

to remove the app button from the taskbar

Seems promising. However, I have no idea where to find or how to create
a file named "application.ini". Please advise.

Thank you.

STOP
Thank you all. I found the solution. There is a VI named INIMAKER which
can be downloaded from the NI developer site. When adding the INI
generated by this VI is added to the application when installing it and
this INI contains a section

[xyz]
hiderootwindow=true

wher xyz is the name of your app

the second button will not be visible any longer.

Thanks Jean-Pierre for pointing to the proper direction.
