Window Handles

[LVKevin]

Hello,

If a window handle becomes inactive or 'bad' (by closing the front panel for example) and I make a call to get a new handle will I be leaving holes in memory? Do I need to somehow close the open window handle before I close/hide the front panel?

Thanks,

Kevin

If the window is a LabVIEW front panel, you don't have
to worry about it. To find the handle of a closed
window, you'll get 0. OS will take care of close
handle for you.

Hi,

In LV versions < 6.1 you do need to worry about opening window refs if you
dynamiclly change the title of the window...

Anyway, it is good practice to close references you open.

Regards,

Wiebe.
