Front panel setting - Exe

[sushmith_ks]

Hello everyone,

            I have made some display settings like placing LEDs, buttons etc in some particular places of my vi. when I create exe using application builder its working fine with all aspect in my present PC. But if i move the Exe file to some other PC with different monitor size all my front panal settings will be changed. I have to avoid that.

          I feel some settings should be done while creating exe file itself. So can please let me know the settings. Awaiting for your valuables replies.

Once you freeze the front panel design and don't want that to be changed you can scale all the objects with the pane size , which is available in the VI properties>Window size (as suggested before). This option will scale all the objects according to the Front panel size and will automaticallu resize when the front panel size changes.

Hello,

Can you maybe post an example of the issue you run in to. It can be a number of cases.. for example fonts. If you use the 'default' font for your objects, everything uses the font selected in the OS.

If you move from one PC to another this can mess op the UI. When you move from XP to W7 it is even worse as the fonts in W7 are bigger then XP..

There are 3 things you can do to prevent this:

 - Allow for a lot of space between stuff on the UI to allow bigger fonts

 - Fix the fonts hard-coded by using the font dialog in Labview (crtl-0) and select a font. Don't use system or application font

 - Make a seperate version for each OS
