Any news on workarounds or fixes for Application Builder?

[Glepkyj]

Anyone knows of fixes for the Application Builder? I have LV 8.2 and am trying to remove things like scrollbars and abort button out of my exe. No matter what you do in the VI Settings, they show up. I know there was a workaround to stop the VI from running at startup up, but that was the one thing I needed not to do. LV 8.0 app. builder works fine, but I did this new VI in 8.2 and it does not to seem to be backwards compatible. So I need to get 8.2 working. Thanks Guys

Hello Gerald,

This problem was reported to the National Instruments R&D deppartment and it was fixed on the next version. A workaround if you don't have LabVIEW 8.2.1 is to use VI properties to change the window appearance of the top vi before you build your executable. Right-click the VI icon on the front panel or block diagram and select VI Properties from the shortcut menu or select File»VI Properties» Window Appearance from the Category pull-down menu to display this page. Dialog style windows stay on top, have no menu bar, scroll bars, or toolbar, allow the user to close the window but not resize it, allow run-time shortcut menus, and show the front panel when called. Please let me know if this works for you.

Regards,

Thanks Juan, this worked. I used the custom one and choose what I wanted. I don't think we'll be upgrading yet, we spent big bucks on a faculty license. Sad that they won't give us the 8.2.1 free.

Cheers

Hi,

I have the exact opposite problem.  I am using Labview 8.5 and when I built my application exe the first time, everything was showing (toolbar, menubar, abort button).  But now, when I made some changes to it (nothing pertaining to VI properties), then it suddenly does not show the menubar etc.  I checked theVI properties options and it shows to show everything.  I was also browsing online and someone said that it could be an installation issue.  Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Erique

Check your application builder asociated with the top leve VI. That is where it should override the VI setting.

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for the reply.  I think I was checking the wrong thing.
