How to change the height and width of a control?

[LVCoder]

Dear all,

is there anyway to change the height and width of a control?

 In the property nodes, i am just able to read the bound values but cudnt write to it.

How can i set the bound values for a control?

Thanks,

Ritesh

Simple,Two Ways:

Directly resize by dragging the mouse in "select" mode from tools palette

or

right click on control and select properties. In the appearance tab, you can alter height and width

Hope ur problem is solved

if using bound property, simply right click and select change to write.

No, Ritesh was asking how to do it on the block diagram and the Bounds property cannot be written to.

It is simply a matter of using the Button Size property. It is a cluster with  height and width elements.

Sorry, I forgot to mention to select the button size property......

Not all controls can be sized this way. For example to change the vertical size of a simple numeric, you would need to change the font size.

Almost all classes have properties which allow changing their size, but the exact property varies with the class. In the simple numeric class, I believe you can use the properties you get in the numeric text section, but I can't check at the moment.
