Front panel lost block diagram intact

[Everett]

Hello

Here is a weird one.  My follow Labview programmer called saying his vi front panel looked like his desktop instead of what he had created.  It had the vi name in the blue bar at the top but the panel was his desktop as if he had somehow copied and pasted his desktop onto the vi panel.  The diagram was intact luckily so we copied that into a blank vi and resurrected the front panel.   We have no idea what happened.  Has anyone experienced this before?

Thanks

Oddly enough, I have seen that happen.  I deduced that I must have hit the Prnt Scrn key while viewing my desktop.  When I returned to LabVIEW, I thought I had a control on the clipboard.  When I did a paste, the desktop image was placed on the front panel.  I'm not sure if that is what happened in your case, but that would explain it.

Oops... I meant that the image was placed on the Front Panel, not the diagram... although you can do that as well.  It's fun to fool other LabVIEW programmers by pasting crazy stuff on the diagram.

Of course, only after I posted this did I realize that I could edit my previous post.  Doh!

He said he might have done that by mistake.
