Sub-VI won't close when finished

[JMBacker]

I've attached a VI.  It won't close when it is finished running, even though I have it set to in the VI properties.  It ends and stops, but the window doesn't close.  Can anyone show me what's wrong?

Get rid of the stop function.  In fact, forget where you found it on the palette.  If you are ever tempted to use it again, step away from the keyboard.

Oh sorry, I did get rid of the stop function.  In fact, I just put it in there to see if it would do the trick.  Any other ideas?

I stripped down your VI to remove the errors (missing subVIs) and it works fine.  I called it from a separate VI, the window opened and then closed when I hit quit.  If you run it as a top-level VI it won't close (since it was originally opened).

OK, that helps.  Thanks.

Are you running this as a toplevel VI? (In this case it will not close the panel if run in a development environment).

You can always call a "FP.close" invoke node for the current VI.

Well, it turns out I just wasn't paying attention.  There is a main VI that calls executables.  This is one of the executables being called.  Apparently the property settings won't close it as an executable?

All the other executables have an "Exit LabVIEW" VI in them.  I put that in this VI, and it works great.  Thanks for the help though, and thanks for the info how to close a VI, that may come in handy some day.

If you close all the front-panels of an executable the executable will close.
