How do I suppress the I/O window?

Solved!
Go to solution

Too bad the number displayed in the Std I/O Window wasn't 42, becuause then we would know the answer 🙂

 

Ben- the Std I/O Window shows a LabVIEW icon in the upper left corner. Is that because LabVIEW is calling the dll (which may be outputting to I/O), thus Windows thinks the owner of the window is LabVIEW?

 

Just curious.

Yes that is the reason. And the window looks suspiciously like a LabWindows CVI edit window with the status bar underneath and the selection mode icon.

Since the DLL was written in LabWindows/CVI, this doesn't come as so much of a surprise^^

 

Oh well, I'll just drag it somewhere, it does not bother me. As long as it doesn't popup in the built executable later, everything will be just fine.

Well, unless your buddy disables that debug window in the release build of his DLL, this window WILL popup in a LabVIEW executable too!
