How can I set automatically my position on the Front Pannel ? thanks

[marc france]

 Hi everyone,

I am using XP with Labview 8.5. I am using a program that makes screen shots of the Front Pannel. Before starting the VI I need to configure some indicators that are somewhere else on the pannel (I don't wan't them on the screen shot). My problem is that it is quite time spending to reposition the Front Pannel in exactly the same position each time, after having configuered my indicators. Would anyone know how I can set the Front Pannel position automatically ? The only thing I have been able to do is set the FP window position using the propriety node with my current VI path, but I don't need to do this....

Any help would be great,

Best regards,

marc

Hi Marc,

You can use the Origin property of the pane to set the top left point of your front panel.

 

Is this what you are after?

Hi.

          To set the position of the Front Panel fix the origin using property node. First read the position and then write the same. The attachment may help you.
