How to remove the extra window when I am executing my program?

[Lily311]

When I run my CVI program(mycvi.exe) from CVI 6.0, there's an extra window opened that can be seen on TaskBar representing the running program. How to make the window disappear?
I am using CVI acitveX automation server to control the program(mycvi.exe) running. And I hope my main program(myprg.exe) always in the foreground and get the input focus.

You can use:

SetSystemAttribute (ATTR_TASKBAR_BUTTON_VISIBLE, 0);

to remove it from the taskbar. If windows is popping up, you would have to change your code to not have the windows come up when automating.
