Hiding a front panel stops working when an exe is built

Hiding a front panel stops working when an exe is built.
i tried doing this by opening refrence to self and then through launcher Vi as well . but after if i make an application these techniques fail.
some one please give me a way to either hide my front panel or make it just appear as minnimized window . that can not be disturbed.

Hi,

the property Front Panel.Open set to TRUE will close the VI. In an exe this will stop the application.

Solutions:
In LV 7 use the property Front Panel.State set to Hidden.
In versions before use the LVW32util.llb. This llb has a VI named Hide Window. This will work only on windows plattform. I don't know any solutions on other plattforms.
