Black Pearl Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I've written a small tool and located in the Tools-menu. It is just aligning the lables of the terminals, so there is no need for a front panel to show. However, I always get that flicker when it is called (FP opened automatically and closed programatically after the job is done). How to avoid this? Felix Quote Link to comment

How to avoid this? ... Hi, I have tried to avoid this too but couldn't find out the solution so I've learnt to live with it. If someone knows a way then I'm interested. Sorry, can't help you.

Felix You can make it run "Minimized" (Windows Run-Time Position) and you should only see a flicker of your topmost VI while it loses it's "active window" status for the time your Tools-menu VI runs. At least, you won't see the front panel flicker in and out of existence. Quote Link to comment

Francois Normandin Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Not Minimized but Hidden. Felix Even better. Quote Link to comment
jcarmody Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Not Minimized but Hidden. Felix I tried this in my GetCCTSnippet (to extract a pre-LV2009 snippet made with the CCT), but it didn't work. It might have something to do with what I was doing with the Block Diagram. I'm interested to know if it works for your app. Quote Link to comment
Black Pearl Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 The very first call is VI.FrontPanel.Status=Hidden and the very last call is VI.FrontPanel.Open=False. All I see now is the flicker of the Active VI (BD Open) due to the loss and regain of focus. Is your try in the code (Your GetCCTSnippet link)? Felix Quote Link to comment

I tried again (just to be sure). Jim Quote Link to comment
