Position Sub VI front panel

[ASTDan]

Is there an easy way of positioning the Front panel of a sub VI on a coordinate point of the calling VI?

[RavensFan]

Sure.  There are property nodes to determine the window position of the calling VI.  Likewise the same property nodes would be used with the subVI to set its window position.

[ASTDan]

Yep,

Was playing around with the property nodes and wasn't having any luck.  I was hoping for something quick and dirty.

Finally figured out what I needed to do using property nodes.  IMHO the naming convention used is a little counterintuitive.

Anyway here is a little VI I came up with that converts coordinates obtained from an event structure that is relative to the current VI origin and converts it into what I call "global" coordinates (i.e. relative to the origin of the monitor).

I just found the SnapToPanel utility on the community.

Description

The SnapToPanel VI enables you to position a Target VI window relative to a Reference VI window.

Use the SnapToPanel VI in your application to control the position of sub-panels relative to the main application panel.
