How do you set the viewable area of the front panel?

[ondal]

Hi,

When I run my VI, there is always blank space around the front panel components.

Is there a way to specify the viewable area so that the window will show only that area, or just make the window the smallest rectangle that encompass all the components?

Thanks.

A VI will remember its window size when you save it. You can set it programmatically using the VI server by accessing the Front Panel Window Bounds or the Panel Bounds, depending on whether you have scrollbars, etc, turned on/off. If you do a search within this forum you'll come across numerous examples.
