Application Development

[Pahee]

I have few doubhts about Buildning application by using LabVIEW 7.1. Those are Listed below

1) I want to develop an application, Please check the Figure (1) and Figure (2) When I develop the application builder I wanted to have My custom menu items (As shown in the figure 2 [ Dynamic Surface/Spectra/Kinetics/Reports]) instead of having the Default one from LabView [File/Edit/Operate/Tools]. How to make it possible?

2) How to control the size of the UI during the application development, because I don't want to fit it to entire window size. I want to make it smaller

Expecting your tips

Best Regards,

1) to have custom menu go to

"Edit->Run-Time Menu" and select "Custom" from the drop down box.

Now use the "+" for adding new items like you mentioned by entering a proper "Item Name" and "Item Tag"

You can also use the arrows for creating the childs for the existing menus.

Once done save the rtm file and this file gets automatically populated to the vi which you have already created.

2) Regarding scaling of the front panel use the option File->Viproperties and select the window size under the categories... (i guess this feature is little buggy in 7.1)

Yes Guru, You are right. Thanks for menu settings

But the resizing is bit issue ( buggy in 7.1 as you mentioned.) So what's the way to remove the scroll bars and Maximize/Minimize buttons as shown in the attached figure. I have changed it through VI Properties and Build Application. But it didn't work.

Could you please check it for me?

So what does not work? The VI is not running so they are still shown. When you build the VI, it will run when opened so there is no problem.

What I'm telling is during the run time I want to hide the scrollbar and maximize button, But I couldn't do that during the run time even in LabVIEW 7.1. Can't you check that? or else please give me the proper way to do it
