disable resize front panel of an executable

[lolopuf]

Hello,

I would like to create an executable with this specific option:
the user shouldnt be allowed to resize the front panel during the execution and also when the program stops.

that s probably straightforward, but i didn t find this option anywhere...

thank you for your answers.

Hi Laurent,

right-click the vi icon, select vi properties, select tab "window appearance", switch off "allow user to resize window"!

Hello Laurent,

Go to File, VI Properties. Select the Window Appearance Category.

In this menu you can set the properties of the window of your application.

There are some pre-defined modes or you can costumize your own. Select Customize and de-select the allow user to resize window option.

Hope this helps,

Paulo

That's fine, it works when the program is running. But at the end, you can still resize the window. And i don't want to close the window automatically at the end of the execution.

Is there any other options which can handle it?

Hi Laurent,

it's rather unusual to present a user interface to the user without running the underlying block diagram...
When you quit word/excel/whatever then the window closes! Why should an application programmed in LV behave different?

Maybe you should rethink your design... When the vi is in edit mode you cannot control the user actions!

I don't know of anything that will prevent him to change it.

There is an optin to set the minimum size in the same manu, in the window size category, but this will only prevent that the window size will never be shorter the the defined value.

Anyway, the next time your application will run, it will have the size you defined again.

Hope this helps,

Paulo

Quit LabVIEW

Laurent, if you dont want to close the window automatically at the end of the execution, then you ve to see inside the code if the Quit LabVIEW function is used. If it is there, it ll close the EXE at the end...

So, you can remove it, if you want to be so...

Ok I will redesign my program to close it at the end of the execution thanks to the Labview quit function.

thank you,

Laurent

Very sorry my interventing on this old issue.

My issue is below.

So far I am using this option when I release the executable.  However, in debugging time, I switched on to see hidden parameters.

But some program looks switch off this on execution automatically.

It won't solved even I put a code (See shot4.png) in the program loop.

Do you have any idea why this would happen?

It is very unclear what you are trying to do here. shot4.png is useless in trying to help you. Please attach your vi (or better yet a zipped copy of your project) and a better explanation of the result that you are trying to achieve.
