internet access

I am writing a program that connects to various websites. I have tried the
'Open URL in Browser.vi' found in the examples as well as an example from
the internet toolkit. When I run the vi, it automatically connects via AOL
(this is good), but the AOL screen remains on top of my vi so the user must
manually minimize it. Is there any way to run AOL minimized? I have tried
wiring the run minimized? option of the system exec vi as true, but it has
no effect. thanks.

Hi Patrick,

If you want AOL to start and then automatically get minimzed then try
following that has nothing to do with LabView or any code writing. May be a
few settings in Windows might help.

Right-click on the Start button of your Windows 9X, and then click Open.
Locate AOL.exe or whatever AOL file that gets launched in your VI and and
select it.
Click the File menu, and then click Properties.
Click the Shortcut tab.
In Run, click Minimized or Maximized, and then click OK.


Hope this helps

Cordially,
Rishipa

Try the "Windows Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW"
in the NI Example database. It has lots of
utilities for controlling windows including
minimize.
