How to hide the "Getting started" window?

[OnlyOne]

Hello,

i´m using a custom LV-operator interface which calls from time to time a vi with a separate front-panel. After i close this frontpanel, the LV getting-started-window appears.

I think what i have to do is to execute a "hide window"-command in my operator-interface.

But how to i get the handle to this "getting-started-window"?

Should i do a "hide=True" or a "IsTopMost = False?" What will work?

Thanks

Build it into an executable?

Or open a VI with an open, yet hidden front-panel.

The Getting started window is available from resources\dialog\GettingStartedWindow but password protected.

The problem is, that the "Getting Started Window" is over my OperatorInterface and i currently have to set tmy OPUI back to fron by hand.

Now i want to hide or switchBack this gettingstarted window.

You are seeing this because you're running the code in the development environment. Once all VIs are closed LabVIEW will pop up the "Getting Started" window. This is by design. If this is for release use you should build your code into an application.

If the "Getting Started" window is still being displayed after you open a VI then there's something wrong, as LabVIEW should close that window once a VI is opened. What method are you using to open the VI?

The OperatorInterface is an executable which calls NI TestStand and starts a testplan there. Inside this testplan there is a step which opens this frontpanel. This is then a separate VI and not part of the OPUI. There are a lot of other VIs which are in the Testplan but this is the only VI which opens a Frontpanel where i have to cklick on a OK-button to close it.

And after it closes the GettingStarted appears.

Instead of closing the front panel, you could just minimize it.  This would stop the Getting Started panel from displaying.  However, the VI would still be loaded in memory, but it would not be running if you stopped it properly.

The VI start the development environment of LV. You can remove the development environment from the PC or add a "Quit LV.vi" as the last statement in the VI. Another VI will start the dev. environment again and should quit it aswell.

I got the same problem and I found the way to fix it..

I'm using NI TestStand 4.2

Go to Configure -> Adapters -> then Select Highlight LabVIEW  and Hit Configure.. button

Change 'Type which LabVIEW Server to use' to

LabVIEW Run-Time Engine
