Sub VIs launching themselves on project-open

[MartinMcD]

Hello there,

I have an application with a main vi that can launch sub-vis as separate widows/processes. These child windows contain a plot. I launch the child window using the code snippet attached.

This all works perfectly. However, when I open the project file it so happens that the child windows open as well, even before I have opened or run my main vi. I don't understand how they are being launched. The same thing happens if I build an executable.

Please can anyone help?

Thank you,

Martin

Hi Martin

Not sure why a VI opens when you load the LabVIEW Project - it should not load any VIs into memory, only check dependencies (I think).

But there is a Show Front Panel When Loaded option in VI Properties that you may have checked causing this?

Ahh, yes - thank you, that was it!

I'd been playing with the setting when trying to figure out how to launch separate windows and had forgotten to change it back.

Thanks very much!
