stopping pda using X button
Hello,
I have a LabView PDA app that will be deployed to a community of non-savvy users. Currently the app VI can only be stopped by means of a boolean control. However, it would be more desireable to also kill the app when the upper right X button is clicked. In Windows CE, this button does a minimize, but does not stop the app. This has my users confused, since they are used to killing programs using the X. LabView PDA does not support the Front Panel Window State Property, so I cannot figure out any way to kill the app using the X. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Re: stopping pda using X button
I tried this approach but ran into a problem. I turned the main VI into a renamed subVI and created a Main VI that is identical to the PDALauncher vi in the example (except I substituted my subVI for the one called by the example). Now, whenever I try to build the app, I get an pop-up small box from LabView that says simply "Bad VI" and simultaneously shows the Error Box that has a big red X error indicating there is a fatal error in my former main VI (which is now a renamed sub VI). However, the "Bad VI" error message box is a modal pop-up box that I must click OK until anything will continue. After I click on OK, the sub-VI error indication immediately goes away in the standard Error Box and the Error Box changes to indicate there are no VIs with errors, but the build does not proceed. So I get no indication at all from LabView about what the problem is and I cannot proceed with a Build.
Any help will be appreciated.
