VI Properties that don't map to Property Node

I am attempting to generate documentation for VI's that I have written. I want to create a table that shows the values of the Window Appearance, Window Size and Execution categories of a VI but there are several entries on those dialogs that I cannot find a way to get at. They are as follows:

Window Appearance->Allow User to Resize Window (FP:Resizable does not appear to be correct)
Window Appearance->Allow User to Minimize Window

Window Size->Minimum Panel Size
Window Size->Scale All Objects on Front Panel as the Window Resizes

Execution->Auto Handling of Menus at Launch
Execution->Clear Indicators When Called

Any help would be appreciated.

Ciao
Bill

With my 6.1 version, it would appear that the FP:Resizable property combines the Allow User to Resize Window and Allow User to Minimize Window selections. Only if they are both unchecked will the property node return a false. The Scale All Objects is available as a method - Get FP Scaling. I can't help with the other properties. Does anyone know if NI made thes availabel in 7.0?

If you click the Help button in the Customize Window Appearance dialog box in LabVIEW 7.0, each option lists the corresponding VI Server property or method. In this case, "Allow user to resize window" corresponds to the Front Panel Window:Resizeable property, and "Allow user to minimize window" corresponds to the Front Panel Window:Minimizeable property.

No available property corresponds to "Minimum Panel Size". The Get/Set Front Panel Scaling Mode methods correspond to the "Scale all objects on front panel as the window resizes" option.

No available properties correspond to "Auto handle menus at launch" or "Clear indicators when called".
