Minimize LabVIEW Application (EXE) to Icon on Task Bar?

[C.D.]

Hey,

I want to run a LabVIEW Application (EXE File, LabVIEW 8.2) everytimes in backgrund. Frontpanel should visible only on activation. After minimize application only a small icon (not the large Task Button!) should visible on right corner of Task Bar. Is that possible by a LabVIEW Application?

Thank's in advance.

Kind regards
C. Dietz

Try File -> VI Properties -> Window Run-Time Position -> Position: Minimized.

The right corner of the Task Bar is called System Tray.

This can be done with G Toolbox -> Systray Icon VIs:

Or with this ActiveX object.

P.S. George, it's actually called the "notification area", at least officially.

However, System Tray is a much more popular name for it.
