close front panel but leave open block diagram

[GregFreeman]

Is there a way to do this? I would like to have my block diagrams of a few subvi's open but front panels closed so my task bar isn't so cluttered. It's not a big deal, I was just curious

No current way unfortunately.

A colleague and I actually just put in a product suggestion for this yesterday.

So if they fix this do I give you or them credit for the solution? 🙂

While I'd love the credit, I'm just the one nagging on the people to fix it.

You can do this by setting the Front Panel.State property to Hidden. To do this you will have to run some code, though.

If you place this VI in the LabVIEW\Project directory and restart LabVIEW, you should have a Hide Front Panel option in your Tools menu which should work for any VI.
