LabVIEW front panel as a privacy filter

[ShotSimon]

I would like to create a LabVIEW application that would allow it to act as a privacy shield taking advantage of the front panels transparency option.

How do I make the VI stay in the front and still allow me to in type in a word document in the back?

This may not be possible but I figured I would throw it out to the experts in the forum.

Regards,

Jonnie 5,

Looks interesting so far...do I need to install the LVWUtil32.dll?

Sorry for the pre-edit posts (I realized not everyone has the Windows utilities).  Should work with LVWUtil32.dll and WINUTIL.LLB either in the subfolder of the zip file or copy them to the same directory as the Shield.vi

Now that is cool!  And exactly what I was trying to do, Thanks.  -SS
