Sorry, maybe I didn't explain myself (I'm not very good writing in english
), my question wasn't about the movement of the control, my question was why after running it I'm unable to find the control and unable to resize it or reposition it. I had to replace the control and wire all the properties nodes again.
Be patient with us and we'll keep trying!
Once you have moved into left-forever, to "find it" LV would have to move the screen to cover left-forever. AS mentioned before LV expects all FP controls to be somewhere between 0 and 16K. So to show your control once it was moved, LV would have to show a part of the screen that it simply does not support showing.
We COULD call it a bug but in the real world (where code development has to be justified by $$$) fixing that "bug" is very low on the priority list. Even if we screamed to get it logged as a bug, there is no guarentee that after being addressed you would be able to find the control as you desired since a bug (techically speaking) is condition where the software fails to meet a specification. I suspect there is no "specification" for what LV does when trying to find a control in "left-forever" so the developer could "wimp-out" and write a spec that says "When trying to find a control in left-forever, a dialog box should be displayed saying you have lost all of your work..."
Now its old joke time:
Man went to his doctor and said
Man: "Every morning when I drink my tea I get a pain in my eye."
Doctor: "Interesting tell me exactly what leads up to this!"
Man: "I pour my tea, add some sugar stir it and then take a sip."
Doctor: "Net time try taking the spoon out of the cup first."
So for this situation I have to recomend that you...
"Don't DO THAT!"
Take care,
Ben
