How can I cancel a runing program?

[Hannes Hapke]

Hi,

this sounds like a simple question but
I can no close a running labview program.
I open the vi file, and Labview starts immediately
the running program of my labview development.
Unfortunately the window is not resizeable and my cancel
button is not shown (it is in a different part of
the window to where I can not move).

So how can I stop it?

Thank you very much for an answer.

Best regards,
Hannes

if you are on windows try "ctrl + ." (i dont know the key combo for other platforms, check the LV help), if that doesnt work you can use the VI Server to stop the VI too...

If Dan's suggestions for stopping it don't work, you might try other
ways of opening it so that it doesn't start running. The VI is set to
run when opened, but if you use the palette's VI... button to drop the
subVI on a scratch VI, then double click it, it will not run. Another
trick is to open and set a breakpoint on a subVI of the VI.

Thank you for your help.
But unfortunately all suggestions did not work.
Is there any other chance to cancel it?

Open a New VI, use VI... to browse to and drop the icon for the top VI.
It will not start running. Double click on it and it will not start
running. If it does, please explain where it starts.

Make sure you stop the VI (by killing LabVIEW or something) before placing it as a subVI in another VI. Then follow Greg's suggestion.
