Trouble with viewing mode MONITOR

Question

There is a way to use viewing mode MONITOR  in WPT (web publish tool) with my front pannel minimized??
I used WTP to create a web monitor, it display snapshots every 60 seconds. It works fine if my FP is maximized. But if I minimize the FP, the web monitor only displays a gray square.
How can I use a web monitor when FP is minimized???????

Hi Eric.
Thaks for your answer. About the workarounds  that  you  post.
Keep the front panel window open.
Programmatically
adjust the front panel position to detect when the window is minimized
and then compensate for the position change.  See the attached VI
(written for LV 8.5) as an example of this workaround.
1.-  I can´t use this because I must minimize the application.
2.- I tried to use this one, but I didn´t find the control`s position to compensate the change.
I solve this trouble using a 3 way:
1.- I ask for FP. State.
2.- If FP.State = minimized, I set FP.Transparency = 100 and FP.state = maximized.
3.- I get the image using FP.get image method, and save it.
4.- Return FP.TRansparency to 0 and FP.state to minimized
for the publishing I didn´t use WTP, I wrote a html file (attached as a .txt file) that load the image created every 20seconds
