Unnecessary "Save Changes?"

[VLUIS]

Hi!
I'm writing my first application in LabView (release 4); I need to open
several displays, and the number of them is not known at compilation
time. So I tried with a reentrant VI, but the problem is that only one
front panel can be opened. So I decided to make multiple copies of my
Display Manager VI on disk, and then have the main VI run them (kind of
awful, but I wasn't able to find anything more elegant...) The problem
is that when the displays are closed (by the main VI), LabView prompts
the user with the "Save Changes?" dialog, which is no good! By the way,
I don't completely understand what makes LabView think there is the need
to save something. Does anyone know a way around this?
Another issue: is there a way to let th
e user minimize, but not resize
nor close the front panel?
Thank you very much!
Best regards

Hi !

Well, I had a similar problem because I wanted to save the changes always.
So, I opened the VI that saves files and modified it in away that now it
always saves changes. I've saved it with a diferent name and that's the VI
that I call in my program, not the original to save files.

Hope that it helps.
