Overview

Program that shows how to move a control programmatically through the Front Panel using the Position property of VI Server.

The maximum coordinate allowed is (528,352).

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

2. Select the Run button.
3. Use the Horizontal and Vertical controls to set the coordinates in which you would like to have the button on.
