Launch LabVIEW exe to system tray.

[Daytonaman]

I want to be able to automatically minimize a LabVIEW exe to the system tray upon starting the program. Anyone have examples on how to do this?

Windows API is the solution. Therefore, at Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW you can find lots of useful VIs calling Win API functions. One of them will allow you to minimize the window.

If you need just this (and do not want to have lvutil32.dll included in your project) append attached code to your vi and that's all.

Hope this helps

He wants to minimize app. to "System Tray", not just minimize the window.

There is a VI in G Toolbox expecially for this purpose. If one uses LV5.1,
he can download G Toolbox 2.0 from:
