Windows2k taskbar buttons

[Gerd W.]

After using the App Builder and running my app.exe, I always get
2 taskbar buttons on my Win2k desktop. The first one has the name
of my app.exe, the second the name of the panel window (which is renamed
via 'vi property'). When I right-click the first button, nothing happens,
Win2k just switches to the second button. When I right-click the second
button, the normal context menu arises.
How can I remove the first button?

excuse me, let me add a question...
is it possible to start an apliction minimized without any taskbar button or
just a tb-icon?
thx

Add "HideRootWindow=True" to the YourExecutableName.ini file.

Check out this thread ==> "root window labview.ini" [link removed; thread no longer available]

Good Luck,

In Windows you can't run LabVIEW apps without a window open. That's why it's called "Windows", I guess.

However, you can register a LabVIEW app as an NT Service.

Do a search on LabVIEW NT Service and you will see lots of results.

Also there is an LTR (http://ltrpub.com) Article written by Joel Sumner titled "Creating a Windows NT Service" which appeared in the Vol 8 No 4 issue.

Good Luck,
