Simple Splash Screen using LabVIEW

[Aaron_E]

Overview
This example VI shows how to implement the splash screen in LabVIEW.

Description

When creating professional applications, we often want to display a information screen at the start of a program execution, commonly called a splash screen. This example demonstrates simple way to implement the splash screen in LabVIEW code.

On the front panel of Splash Screen.vi, there is a graphic which will be the splash screen. On its block diagram, it simply uses a property node and a while loop to increment the transparency. The Initialization subVI is setup to center the front panel, make the front panel transparent, and bring the VI to the front of other windows.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 Base Development System (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download the zip file "Simple Splash Screen 2012 NIVerified.zip"
2. Open the VI "Simple Splash Screen 2012 NIVerified.vi"
