Setting Run-time Position for a Modal Window

Status: New

When setting developing an application that uses a Modal pop-up window it can be very frustrating when the pop-up appears on the monitor you are not looking at.

In the VI properties you can choose the position and you can choose which monitor to use as seen in the attached .png.   

 

It would be great if we had an option to choose "application montior" so the Modal window would appear where ever your VI or exe is running.

The same goes for when you set the run-time position to Maximized or Minimized - you do not get to set its position or dimensions anymore.

 

So what are those parameters when the user decides to normalize the window?

 

Allow us to define the size and position in those cases as well, and throw in a new option: "Hidden", and I'm a happy man....

The option should probably be "Same as Caller", as "application" has no meaning with multiple windows.

Thanks for the great replies and Kudos.  

 

Jack- that is an excellent workaround and will have to do until this feature gets added to a future version of LabVIEW.
