There is no fix? Are you serious? Hahaha. Just another reason I hate labview as much as I love it.
Anyways, the shift direction button is a great tip. I will definitely be using it. I hope some people high up in the labview app engineers world read and implement your cosmic improvements for labview thread. Their bureaucracy seems worse than NASA's sometimes.
My point is that even though all my other stuff on the front panel is fitting on one screen, near the origin, labview will still put the new indicators/controls way the hell out in space. Its stupid. If they are going to do that at least let the user click and drag the mouse waaaaaay off the window to get the thing to go faster rather than just let them get within pixels of the border before it stops dragging and starts thinking you want must want to click on some other window on your screen. (Photoshop does a good job of this by the way) That should be easier to implement than a more intellegent new-indicator/control-placement algorithm if they are just being lazy about fixing it.
I would think stuff like this would take as high of a priority as fixing crashing errors because annoying stuff like this effects more labview users. All of them.
p.s. RayR, I hope you are just talking about the front panel because I
can count on one hand the number of back panels I have made that fit on
one screen.
