Hide Front Panel in Labview 6.1

[mukeshkannan@ge.com]

Hi,

Any quick solution to hide or minimize & maximize front panel programmatically in Labview 6.1. I could see some example in Labview 7.0 & 7.1 at NI site.

Can any one help me out in this regard?

You can use a property node for a VI class and select the "Front Panel Window >> State".

I don't remember, but I think LV6.1 has this function.

I think "Front Panel Window >> State" was added in LV7 (or else I've been making life harder than need be).

In LV6.1, you can use the Windows management VIs that can be found in the lvwutil32 libraries available from:
