Locking the visable portion of the Front Panel

[catsh16]

So in VI properties I can select my Window appearance, and the location (full screen, centered, etc) of the window.  I can't find a way to lock the visable portion of the FP when my VI is run.

  In otherwards, it is usually offset to the side such that some of my controls and indicators are off the screen.

advice please??

thanks, Kevin

Can you upload an example screenshot?

Also, be sure to disable the scrollbars.

My best guess for the moment is that you are programmatically setting the origin property (e.g. to 0,0) when you run the VI and that some of your controls don't match that.

I haven't seen any such options as 'origin property'.  Here is a screenshot; very basic.

Hi catsh:

the property is:
VI.Front Panel.Pane.Origin (on LV 8.x)
VI.Front Panel.Origin (on LV <8.x)

Hi catsh16,

have you tried to hide window scroll bars and to disable window resizing in the window appearance properties? No need for pinning the origin of the window in a polling/pushing loop!

Tom P,

  Thank You,  This is the correct Answer!!

for anyone in the future, you need to create a property node, right click, then go to 'select class' to find the specific types (eg VI, Pane, etc.);  and change the origin property to 'Write'
