How to make the menu disappear?

[ThunderBird]

Please look at the attached code (from LabVIEW examples). The menu (file, edit...) disappear after we start the program. How to implement this? Thanks.

Go to File>>VI properties. Select "Window appearence" from the drop down box. Here you can customize the appearence of your VI, including hiding everything on the top.

Go to VI Properties>Window Appearance>Customize and you'll see the options to Show Menu Bar and Show Toolbar when running.

Thanks. May I have one more question? I used 'decoration' (shown attached 1 ) and i want it to be background. But right now it always covers the buttons. I'd like all the buttons in front of the decoration.
Thanks.

On your toolbar, see the little button over on the far right. When you move your mouse over it, you get the tip "Reorder"? Select your control and use the options on the Reorder button.

Use the "reorder button in the tool bar at the top of the FP window to reorder the relative positions of your objects.

Thanks. This forum is really helpful. I am beginner and I always try to use the right button of mouse to find out something. LabVIEW is a little bit different with others.

Thanks for reply. But how to change the color of the decorations? Sorry it is a primary question, but it is really not convenient to find it out in labview.

The paint tool (Tools palette). All of these things are in the LabVIEW User Manual.

Besides reading the LV documentation, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here is one you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses. A tutorial or a course is something that was presumably thought of beforehand and will allow you to learn the important functionalities in a good order.
