Close standard input/output window + set GPIB instrument to local

I have written a DLL that uses FmtOut to write to the standard input/output window. The function exported from this DLL is called by another application. How can I close the input/output window without closing the executable? I use the input/output window to display status messages while the function is running, but I don't need them anymore when the function has finished.

Another question: How do I set a GPIB instrument to local mode without closing the application that uses it? I use the close-function supplied with the Labwindows driver, but the instrument is still in remote mode until I close the application. This applies to several instruments that I have used.

Hi,
ibloc () is the go to local function you need for GPIB.
For the input/output window, I don't know.

Try

SetStdioWindowVisibility(0);

from CVI's Utility library.
