You can select the control (or indicator) with the selection tool, and then use the arrows keys on the keyboard to move it where ever you want, as close to the top of the window as you want, or even outside the viewable area, without having to deal with moving scroll bars.
Hope this helps.

I am unable to reproduce your problem. If I move a control to the top, the window doesn't begin to scroll until the selection tool (the arrow) touches the tool bar and if I use the key keyboard, the scroll bar doesn't move at all. Even if it did move, why can't you just scroll the window back to where you want the control?

One thing you might try is placing the controls where you want them, then go into the VI Properties, select Window Appearance for the Catagory. Click the Customize button and uncheck the "Show Scroll Bars" checkbox. This will turn off the scroll bars while the VI is running. So they will still be there while you're editing the VI, but at least they will be gone and the panel not scrollable while it is running.

Try trowing some dummy controls on your front panel that are off-screen to the,

Top left
top right
bottom left
bottm right.

These should be outside you your viewing area with all otehr controls inside the boundry defined by the "dummies".

THese dummies will define the size of the FP at let you position your button as you choose. JUST MAKE SURE you button is inside the dummies. (Also watch new control that will appear below the rest).

I placed them there with the keyboard arrow keys and had no movement of the scroll bar or a gap. It would be nice if you could attach a screen shot of the problem as you see it.
