Sizing of front panel objects: Make properties accessible.

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 2 kudos within 2 years after posting will be automatically declined.

It is a surprise for a lot of LabVIEW users, including myself, that the size of front panel objects (Property "Bounds") cannot be set programmatically. 

 

Rolf Kalbermatter has posted a VI that does this (don't know who wrote it), but making this property part of standard LabVIEW is a tremendous help, especially when dealing with graphs whose object size can only be set indirectly by setting the size of the graph object inside the containing object.  This makes it extremely difficult to make pixel perfect sizing, especially if you re-size a graph object to permit different viewing sizes.

 

The link to the VI is found in the following thread:
