Can I just open block diagram only

[vishi anand]

Like I can have only front panel opened. Reason is when I have bunch of VIs
open, I get too many windows to manage even while using 2 monitors. It will
be nice if I can just have the window for block diagram open, if I need the
front panel while editing, I can use Ctrl+E to open it. I know I can
minimize but then all LV windows look same on task bar. Would be nice if
icon of the VI showed up on taskbar buttons of each VI.

Nice idea!

I would like to be able to do that as well.

Vishi,

Those are interesting ideas, and I also think they would be useful. I will pass on the suggestions to R&D and they can evaluate implementing them. Thank you for your feedback.

You can use lvwutil/Hide window.vi to hide the front panel.
This method has been around for years.
