all objects property node and grouped objects

[eichlerjw]

Hi

I am trying to position a the objects on my GUI in the centre of the screen using property nodes. However, I do not want to have to have a property node for every decoration, image and control. Is there a way that I can group all the objects and then use a property node to position them? I have tried using the all objects property node but none of the indexes seems to apply to my group of objects.

Help please!

Many thanks.

John

p.s. i have uploaded my test vi's. The chart, decoration and exit button have been grouped. use the control on check.vi to set the object to move.

Tab pages are a nice way to group GUI objects.

Instead of using a decoration,

• use a tab control

• Remove all but the first tab

• Hide the tab

• Set the proprties of the tab control and the control on that page will move, hide, show along with the tab control.

I hope that helps,

Ben

nice idea! Hopefully, I can use a property node to control the position of the tab page.
