Hides the front panel of the VI and optionally hides the VI from the taskbar when the VI runs as a top-level VI by changing the VI properties, such as the front panel transparency, run-time position, and minimization properties. This method is useful when you want to control if and when the front panel opens for top-level VIs. For example, use this method to hide the front panel of startup VIs of stand-alone applications that you build in LabVIEW.
