>From my experience (6.1) At the top level VI: A) if I use property node FP.Open and wired False Value to it and the reference input is empty at run time when the property node is called the vi FP is close and the vi executing terminated. B) If I open reference in the top level vi to it self and wire it to the property node the FP panel is close and the vi keep running. C) In the executable app the top level vi FP is show always - I think the show FP when load is ignored.
my question are: 1) way did closing the front panel of the vi is stop the vi execution (case A)?. 2) can I build app that the top level vi FP didn't open by default (silent mode)?
