How Can I Hide the Context Help Programmatically?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>LabVIEW Base Package
Primary Software Version: 8.6
Primary Software Fixed Version: 7.1
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
When I build an executable that runs a LabVIEW VI, the LabVIEW Context Help dialog opens and remains open while the VI runs. How can I hide the Context Help dialog programmatically?

Solution:
You can solve hide the context help by using the Control Help Window function. This VI controls the Control Help Box and has two inputs: Show and Top Left Corner. To hide the context help dialog, wire a False Constant to the Show input. The example below demostrates one implementation of this concept.

Note: This will only hide the Context Help Box once the LabVIEW application is runnning.
