Creating a 'real' exe without the start/stop buttons

[Timo1971]

I would love to be able to create an exe file without the Labview Operation control buttons (Run, Stop etc). Is this possible? I'd like my program to run when the exe is called and the window closed when the program has finished.
How can I do this?

You can make it look and feel like an .exe by useing these few tips:

VI Properties -> Windows Appearence -> Dailog

VI Properties -> Execution -> Run when open

Use this VI to Exit LabVIEW

Quit LabVIEW - Stops all executing VIs and ends the current instance of LabVIEW. This function shuts down only LabVIEW. The function does not affect other applications. The function stops all running VIs the same way the Stop function does.

Hope this helps,

One trick I have found is that when building the executable these properties can be changed in the build file.  That is when developing show the toolbar but in the build file you change the default behavior of a vi to hide the toolbars.  All the settings can be controled under the vi properties window.
