executable build close when stop

[jmaarek]

I am building an executable application. When the  application ends, it remains in an open window that needs to be closed separately afterwards. Is there  a way for that window to close automatically when the application ends?

Under application control there is a VI called Quit LabVIEW.  That should do the trick.

But you should wire the Application>>Kind property into a case structure to only run this VI when you are in an EXE.

Thanks for the extra info about Kind property.  I couldn't figure out how to do it even though I know it was possible.

Attached is a VI I wrote which I use for this. Note that it only exits if it was called by the top level VI. The reason I did this is because I sometimes take working programs and call them from other VIs. This allows closing them without stopping the EXE. I haven't really checked how this works with dynamic calls.
