How to show Getting Started Window (GSW) when a Tool's Daemon/Process VI is running in background (and all other files are closed...)

[jgcode]

[cross-posted to LAVA]

Howdy !

I have run into the following issue when creating a tool for LabVIEW that continually runs in the background (daemon/process VI):

By default, LabVIEW shows the GSW when all other files (project, VIs etc...) are closed.
However with the process running in the background, it does not show the GSW!

Has anyone run into the issue before?
Is there a way to set LabVIEW to 'ignore' my Tool and get the GSW to show normally?
The VI is running in the NI.LV.Editor application instance (the Tool is launched by Quick Drop).

Cheers

Most probably by setting all VIs in the hierachy of the tool to be system VIs. This is a private property of the VI object.

Thanks, Rolf

But I can't seem to find where this property is hiding!

Are you able to posts its location?

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe it should be called Is System VI. You might need the supersecret keys in order to see it.

Thank Yair, found it in the scripting workbench (LV8.5).

However, setting this property for VIs and Ctrls did not work. 😞

The dist contains Libraries (Standard and Classes) as well, don't know if the need to be flagged too?
