Missing Window Run-Time Position in LabView 7.1

[Lipsas]

I am using LabView 7.1 and I found this article:

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5FEB0ED42C700C9B86256EEB00527ECE 

It shows how you can programmatically setup multiple panel windows to appear on screen when called by the main VI, with predefined size, position as well as window priority.

I have LabView 7.1 and I do not have this "Window Run-Time Position" option discussed in the above article, under my File>>VI Properties. I have the "Window Appearance" and "Window Size" options, but not the "Window Run-Time Position".

Basically I have 4 automated custom popup window reminders for the end users. I setup the subVI property of each window in the block diagram to open the panel in a specific predefined location within the computer monitor. I don't want them to completely overlap as the user only sees one window and the other 3 are hiding behind it. However I also want to set each window priority. When the subVI is called if it is window 2 for example, have it always appear behind window 1 but always on top of windows 3 & 4, in other words have priotity 2. No matter when they are called.

Is there something wrong with my LabView 7.1 installation? Is this some kind of add-in function I need to install? Does anyone know why I am missing this "Window Run-Time Position" option from my File>>VI Properties??

Any help would be appreciated it.

No, there is nothing wrong with your LV 7.1 installation.

Sadly, the linked KB does not point out that "Window Run-Time Position" is a new feature introduced by LV 8.0.

Refer to the LV 8.0 Upgrade Notes for this information. You find it on page 83.

PS: If you consider upgrading, you should go to a more up-to-date version of LV. Please note that NI does not support any combination of OS and LV. You can see supported combinations on the LV product lifecycle webpage.
