Issue with How Do I Run an Executable in the Background ?

Hi,
I am trying to run a LabVIEw executable in the background, but none of the methods described in the discussion forum and on ni.com seems to be working. I am using LV 2011 on a Win 7 64-bit machine in case this matters.
I tried the method described in "How Do I Run an Executable in the Background as a Start-Up Application?" (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/4A8B626​B55B96C248625796000569FA9?opendocument&Submitted&&​... but I still see a fragment of a window at the bottom near the start-button (Exhibit 1). Exhibit 2 shows that it only consists of the title bar. (I have customized the window appearance as described, and added the two items
HideRootWindow=True
UseTaskBar=FALSE
to the *.ini file.)
I also tried disabling all the other items in the Customize Window Appearance menu with the same result.
Then I tried the method described in "Running a LabVIEW Executable as a Background Process" (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/EFEAE56A94A​007D586256EF3006E258B) adding the FP.Open method to the VI and setting the state to hidden. I got the same result (Exhibit 1).
Is there anything I need to do in addition or different for my windows version? I appreciate your help. Thank you.
Solved!

No you did not
They need to go in the exe's ini so the exe sees them

  • Issue with date formula when running a report on the 1st day of the month

    We have a formula that compares last month data against last year last month, the report runs on the 1st of every month although the report errors when it tries to run in January being the first month of the new year it tries to look for a month begining with Zero instead of looking back at decemeber which would be 12.
    Does anyone any solutions for this issue?
    Thanks,
    Chris
    Example of some formula's we have tried but none seem to work.
    if {@MonthName} = "December" then year({CDCCHD.CDOPDT}) in year(currentdate)-1 to year(currentdate)-2 else year({CDCCHD.CDOPDT}) in year(currentdate)
    OR
    (if {@Last Full Month Name}= "December" then year({CDCCHD.CDOPDT})= year(currentdate)-2 or
    {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in lastyearytd else {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in lastyearytd or
    {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in yeartodate)
    OR
    ({CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in dateserial(year(currentdate)-1,month(currentdate),01)-1 to dateserial(year(currentdate)-1,month(currentdate)-1,01) or
    {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in lastfullmonth)
    OR
    if {@monthname} = "December" then {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in dateadd("m", -28, (currentdate)) to (currentdate)-14 else {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in dateadd("m", -14, (currentdate)) to (currentdate)

    Chris,
    Give these formulas a try...
    Beg of Last Month
    DateAdd("m", DateDiff("m",#1/1/1900#, CurrentDate) - 1, #1/1/1900#)
    End of Last Month
    DateAdd("m", DateDiff("m",#1/1/1900#, CurrentDate), #1/1/1900#)
    Beg December of Last Year
    IF DatePart("m",CurrentDate) = 1
    THEN DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate) -2, 12,1)
    ELSE DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate) -1, 12,1)
    End December of Last Year
    IF DatePart("m",CurrentDate) = 1
    THEN DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate) -1, 1,1)
    ELSE DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate), 1,1)
    Note that the "End" formulas produce a value that shows midnight of the following day that you would normally expect to see... For example, if you are expecting to see 12/31/2009, it will show 1-1-2010.
    The reason is that the formulas come out to be midnight of the day shown... So a range of 12/1/2009 - 1/1/2010 will include 12/31/2009's data but none of 1/1/2010... (12/1/2009 - 12/31/2009 would actually cut off 12/31/2009).
    If for some reason your data is stored w/o time values then an adjustment would need to be mande.

  • How can I run youtube App in the background on my ipad ISO 7 ?

    I want to run youtube app not using safari in the background on my ipad using iso7 please help !!

    iOS doesn't truly multi-task, so you can't run one app in one window and another in a separate window. There are probably some good reasons for this, including battery life, but you'd have to ask Apple:

  • How can i run a executable right after a rman job has run?

    How can i run a executable right after a rman job has run?
    I have a rman job that execute every night. The backup is local.
    I want to have a duplicate of the backup on another machine.
    I want the executable to sync the directory to execute right after the rman backup.
    How can i do this using the job scheduler?
    Normaly, i would configure rman to run the backup on both location. But im having trouble with rman regarding this:ORA-600 [2103] on RMAN Backup to NFS mounted file system

    Hi,
    If the rman job is in fact a Scheduler jobs (appears in the dba_scheduler_jobs view) then you can create a second event-based job that runs after the rman job (and set the raise_events attribute for the rman job).
    Instructions are here
    Create Event based job
    Hope this helps,

  • Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks

    Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks.  Crashes then ask if you want to reopen or not.  Also when you are trying to manuver the page with your mouse things go crazy from a full page edit back to viewing all photos on the site and skipping around from picture to picture.  Unsusable as it is today!

    It is very critical to delete all preferences when you do a major OS X upgrade. You need to go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything pertaining to PSE. To see that library in 10.9, open a finder window, click your user account in the list on the left (the little house with your name), and then click the gear wheel at the top of the window and choose View Options. At the bottom of the list of checkboxes you'll see Library. Turn it on and then you can easily find the preferences folder.

  • How do u run office mac on the new imac

    error message says cnnont open application microsoft word because power pc applications are no longer supported  how do i run office mac on the new imac

    Office 2004 probably was the best MS Office ever, works fine on PPC machines, badly enough on intel machines, unusable in Lion.
    Office 2008 was a step back, runs badly on PPC machines, not very good for newer, Intel macs either.
    Office 2011 seems the only rational solution for newer macs running SL and Lion.
    There are free and good solutions, OpenOffice, LibreOffice and NeoOffice, all based on OO language. Apple’s iWork also offers a good solution, may be a little problematic if you currently exchange files with Windows users, mainly if you must keep the original format, including inserted data.
    Summing up:
    - if you frequently / currently exchange data with Windows users, MS Office is the best solution from reasons of comfort
    - if not, any free office quoted above makes its job fairly well
    - iWork is also good, and smoothly integrated with Mac OS X, of course
    If you mainly need word processing, Mellel and / or Nisus are (very) good alternatives, may be tested for 30 days, then decide.
    The offer is, as you may see, rich, richer than in Windows, but this also means, as the French say, l’embarras du choix, difficulty of choosing something!

  • How can I run a method as a background process?

    Hello,
    I am currently working on a report where depending on the number of items selected, the user may choose to process all the items right now or as a background process.
    How can I do that in ABAP?
    Thanks

    To run a job in the background it has to be scheduled as batch job. You would usually do that using transaction SM36. As I understand your problem you want to schedule such a job directly from your coding. You may want to have a look at function group BTCH. It overs quite a few FMs to programmatically add a batch job.

  • Since downloading OS X Yosemite I have been having issues with Netflix. Video slows down which causes the audio to go out of sync. Netflix plays ok on ipad which makes me think it's the software which is the issue. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Since downloading OS X Yosemite I have been having issues with Netflix. Video slows down which causes the audio to go out of sync. Netflix plays ok on ipad which makes me think it's the software which is the issue. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Try this:
    Go to System Preferences - Bluetooth. Delete the keyboard from the list of devices by pressing the "-" button. Take the batteries out of the keyboard and reinsert them. In Bluetooth Preferences press the '+" button to add the new device. If the keyboard begins to pair, click the word "pair" and type in the passcode. Press return. The keyboard is now paired.
    If the mouse is not pairing, try this: shut down the computer completely, unplug any USB mice, then turn off the power to the bluetooth mouse.  ONce the computer starts up again, wait for the pop-up looking for a mouse.  Turn on the power to the bluetooth mouse.  It should work normally now.

    Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone?  Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue.  We can only hear every other word of the person we are talking to.  This happens at home, on the road and in the downtown area while calling both cellphones and landlines. It is intermittent, so we don't know exactly when it will reoccur.  Absolutely no problem with data.  The data speed is great.
