Hide application in ABB menu

in ScreenMaker
I do not wish my ScreenMaker application to appear in the FlexPendant ABB menu.
Instead the screen must be displayed by my Rapid program using 'UIShow'.
I have tried using a blank icon and a blank caption in Project Properties, but if I click on the white space in the ABB menu the screen is displayed.
Is there a way to exclude the application from the ABB menu using ScreenMaker?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Carlos,
I deleted my TpsApp*.gtpu.dll file from the VC then warm-started and launched the VFP.
The application was not in the ABB menu, as expected, but UIShow caused an execution error because TpsApp*.gtpu.dll was not found.
Could I leave TpsApp*.gtpu.dll in place, but manually edit it to prevent it showing in the menu?
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin

You are right .. you are trying to launch the screen from that dll .. try this ..
(1) This is your RAPID code:UIShow "ViewTest_Screens.gtpu.dll", "ABB.Robotics.SDK.Views.MainScreen";
(2) Rename the file "TpsViewTest_Screens.gtpu.dll" to "ViewTest_Screens.gtpu.dll"This should work ...Carlos Martinez
