why can't I hide labview exe

Solved!
Go to solution
I'm trying to spawn a labvie exe app from a visual basic app.  I use the shell command to execute the labview app.  This works fine except that I'm using the "vbhide" attribute that doesn't seem to work for the labview app (it works for other spawn programs).  I then followed some of the suggestions I found in the forums about using the front panel property and hide the window.... that kind of works but you can still see the window briefly flashing on the screen before is hidden.  I don't like that.  Has anyone run into this problem before?  Any solutions?

You can go to File->VI properties, select 'Window Run-Time Position' catagory and set position to minimized.  It will appear on the task bar, but it won't flash.

You can also try setting the transparency to 100% in VI properties > Window Appearance > Custom

 Good luck!

Because that setting is for VIs called as subVIs and your VI is not a subVI.
