Problem with 2nd Monitor settings

Hello All,

 

I did step up the monitors as in attached image. When I start LabVIEW, it always starts in second monitor.

 

I have some dialogs in my application and if I set the "window Run -Time Position" as in attached image, but still my dialog boxes are going to bottom of the second monitor.

 

Could anybody please let me know, why?

 

Thanks,

I think you should set the Monitor to '1' or '2' in the VI properties.

I think Primary is the active monitor with the current open panel.

Thanks for the reply. 

 

I tried that too but it did not work.

 

I did run application in monitor one and when I call, dialog it is going to bottom of the second monitor. It has to be in same monitor.

 

In my dialog, I even set the monitor property to "1".

 

If I keep the monitors side by side in settings, it works fine. The problem is coming only when I set monitors as in attached image.

 

Thanks,

Try making the top monitor number 1 if you can do this in windows.

Thanks for the reply.

 

It works if I make top monitor to "1".

 

But for our TestStands we need top monitor to be "2".

And what about moving the dialog yourself (in code I mean), it's not the easiest way, but not really hard.

 

For bug checking, how does the dialog behave if you set the screens next to each other?

Thanks,

 

if I set the monitor settings side by side, then all my dialogs are behaving as expected.

 

If I control programmatically then I need to take care about all monitor resolutions. This will be a big pain.

 

I am not getting why it behaves if I set the monitors  as in attached image.

I think this is a genuine bug in LabVIEW.

I'll put it in the bug-thread.
