Application Builder removing the menu and tool bar

[Joseph_Loo]

In Labview 8 we can use the application builder to disable the tool bar on the VI when during the build. Under Labview 8.2, the source file setting no longer affects the menu and tool bar of the top level VI. In my particuliar case, I want to remove the ability of a user to abort the VI from running after the application build, but I want the abort ability during the debugging phase.

Under Labview 8.2, you have to alter the custom window for the VI. In the previous version, you can do it on the build module.

Have you tried to set the properties of the Main VI being built?  It should default to these settings but you can still change them.  See attached picture from 8.20

That is the standard way I set my stuff up in Labview 8. Under the new version 8.2, it does not work. i have both menu and tool bar unchecked in both column.

Looks like you are right.  I built the VI and it makes no difference.  Did you submit this to NI Support?

[Joseph_Loo]

I did not post it to NI support. I was hoping it was something I was doing wrong. I guess tomorrow I will need to post it to the support area.

Joseph:

I was able to verify what you mentionned in your first post, not being able to remove the abort button from the application builder is unexpected behavior and I thank you the feedback.
I have reported this issue to R&D so that they can investigate  it further. I cannot, at this point, give you a timeline of when I will have something constructive to report on this issue. I will definitelty keep you posted on any workaround / development on this issue.

Again thank you for your feedback. It is through feedback such as this that we can make LabVIEW an even better product.
