Minimizing LabVIEW application to system tray or running it as a Windows process

Hi guys,
Is there a way I can minimize a LabVIEW application to the system tray on the right bottom corner of the screen ? My application will run all the time and all I want is a pop-up when errors or information/reports have to be displayed. I have searched exhaustively and now am posting this question. Please let me know if this can be done.
also, Can a LabVIEW application run as a Windows process? Like it starts up automatically on booting the system?
Thanks!

I may not be perfect, but I'm all I got!

If you search for System Tray you'll find lots of people trying to do the same thing and a few places with example code to get it working. But the best method I've seen is actually on the Lava forums.
http://lavag.org/topic/14060-put-your-labview-in-the-tray-once-and-for-all/page__p__86042__hl__+syst...
As for starting a application on startup. Again I expect searching you'll find alot of people saying the easiest way is to create a shortcut to your application, then place the shortcut in the Startup folder in your start menu.

Is there a way to run iTunes on startup minimized directly to the system tray?

Ive been trying to tweak registry and even created a .bat file in order to fix this but still not working.
Since iOS 5 can sync wirelessly, is there a way to run iTunes on windows startup minimized directly to the system tray?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Correction...
It's a bit of a kludge, but copy the following two lines and paste into an empty Notepad window. Click Save As, change the Save as file type to All files and call the script MinimiTunes.vbs. Place the script or a shortcut to it into your startup group. iTunes will still open as full screen but will minimize shortly thereafter.
Set iTunes=CreateObject("iTunes.Application")
iTunes.Windows.Item(1).Minimized=True
Alternatively, download the script MinimiTunes from my site.

Is it possible to take a labview application and compile it to run on an embedded processor?

Hi
I was wondering if anybody out there knows if it is possible to take a labVIEW application and compile it to run on an embedded processor (e.g. ARM7)?
If so does anybody know what the required capability of the target processor is (i.e. RAM, ROM etc.) and what tools I need.
Many thanks
Ash

Ash,
There is also another option for processors like the ARM7. You can load a PDA OS on it and use the LabVIEW PDA toolkit. The LabVIEW PDA toolkit is MUCH easier to use and is quite a bit less expensive. You will have the problem of getting the OS correctly configured, but in the long run, it may still be cheaper and easier. I use it quite a bit with my Dell Axim X51v which has this processor and Windows Mobile 5. There are still problems to work out, but not nearly what there are with LabVIEW Embedded.
If you want to go the LabVIEW Embedded route and you need some help, let us know on this forum. There are several of us that have experience and can help to guide you.
Hope that this helps,

CF11 is crashing ( application pool suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service)

I have a cluster of 2 IIS web servers on Windows Server 2008 R2. They had been running on CF10 for over a year (if not two) with no problems. I upgraded one server to CF11 and now that server is crashing while the CF10 servers is still running fine.
In the Windows event log I'm seeing 4 instances of this error:
"A process serving application pool '******' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '4652'. The data field contains the error number."
Then finally:
"Application pool '******' is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool.".
Looking at the application pool in the IIS admin it is stopped. Restarting will resolve but it will eventually crash.
What could be the issue?
-Phil

I'm seeing in the CF logs leading up to the crash:

Stand alone labview application (.exe file) does not run properly

Hi all,
I am trying to make a stand alone labview application to run on another computer ( I have never done this before).
I went through the tools->build application prompts and was able to build an exe file.
the program is supposed to control a power meter and make power measurements then save them to a text file.
When I run the exe file, on the same computer I compiled the exe file on, the program generates a text file to save data to but it can not communicate with the power meter.
There are some sub-VIs and a dll file that are used to communicate with the power meter. Could it be that I am not telling labview to correctly
include these files when I create an executable?
What are some common problems that occur when generating stand alone applications that could be causing my issues?
And does anyone know of any good tutorials on generating stand alone applications in labview other than the NI help files?
Thanks for your help,
Solved!

Hi Bill, thanks for your suggestions.
I haven't tried to run this app on another computer yet. I'm just trying to run it on the computer it was developed on.
The computer I developed it on has all the drivers/resources I need to control the power meter.
Also, I don't know how to include the VISA runtime with my installer. could you explain how this is done?
This is the first time IV tried to turn any labview programs into stand alone exe files so I don't anything about how to do it other than what I've seen in youtube videos and help files.
If you know of any good tutorials that will help me figure this out I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
My fault - I didn't read that this was the same computer. I know the very end of Core 3 studies shows how to build an executable and installer, but even that is very general. I'm not sure if there exists a tutorial on how to do it.
As for including the runtimes, when you build an installer, you have to include the runtimes that your executable will need. It's fairly straightforward.
Since it won't run on the machine that built it, I'll have to think about it a little bit...

Hiding Application To System Tray will cause Modal dialog unblock

I have a JFrame, when I minimize it, it will hide. The user can recall it back by simply double click on its icon, which is created in system tray during application initialization.
However, I am facing problem when I pop up a modal dialog box. (In Linux)
When I pop up a modal dialog box, I am expecting setVisible(true) will always being block, until the modal dialog box is closed.
However, in Linux, user is able to minimize the parent windows, even there is a modal dialog box. During minimization, I have to call JFrame.setVisible(false), in order to hide the application.
A side effect of calling setVisible(false) for a modal dialog box owner (JFrame), will cause the modal dialog box JDialog.setVisible(true) being unblocked and continue for the next statement.
How I can prevent this, to ensure the JDialog.setVisible is always blocked, until the JDialog is really closed? Thanks!

tnx Sarcommand ..i give up on that, i understand the risk if that feature is included..
all i wanted is to make an internet cafe client/server that blocks the client's pc interaction if log time is reached.blocking only the keyboard and mouse.
i have seen so many softwares sets the cursor position within the dialog bounding box only with user and password there. though my other application runs the mouse is still captured on the dialog even the dialog lost focus.
if that would not be possible I'll just send notification to the client, a dialog that does not block any application.
now, im going to try if the client can do som action whenever the server sends alert if the client java app is not the focus. i will post next time what hapens.but if you tried already, if u dont mind posting it so others could know it also..
tnx so much Sarcommand..

Minimize AIR Applications to System Tray.

Hello. Is there any way to minimize our AIR applications to the system tray? Like Internet Download Manager can have it's window closed but still running and appearing in the system tray, and is there also any way to display balloon messages like some programs do? Any one solution would even be really helpful.
Thank you.

Turn console app into hidden system tray thinger...

yes, i'm sure this question is goin to be annoying, but if anyone could point me in the right direction in this..
ive got a console app that i'd like to run in the system tray (not showing any MS DOS window in the task bar)
any directions here would be greatly appreciated =D

Do you want and actual Sys-Tray icon thingy? If so, there is a JNI method of doing it. Goto the Programming forum and search for JNI and System Tray, you may yet find it.
If you just don't want the MS-DOS or Command window, then just use javaw and launch from a Batch, or shortcut, or JAR.

Minimize to System Tray?

Is there any way to minimize the java application to system tray?
Did some research and most of the hits returns JTRAY. An API which requires payment.
Please advise. Thanks.

Did more googling and I am intimidated by the results. It seems to require the knowledge of C++ and the usage of JNI to access windows API? Can anyone else shed more light to it please? Thanks.
