panel window size edit

[ursb@my-deja.com]

Hi,

my panel content is placed in the lower right corner of a huge (empty)
window, so it is visible only when the scrolls are set the right way.
I tried to move the content of the panel to the upper left corner
without any sucess.
How can I resize the overall window? Can I adapt it automatically to a
mimimum size?
Thanks for any hints
Urs

The front panel will allways be as small as possible, so check for any control, indicator, label or decoration made invisible in any part of your panel, and move it.
Hope this helps

You can modify the minimum panel size and the margins. Right-click on the vi's icon located at the upper-right corner, and select "VI Setup".

As a trick that work for me: At design time, resize and position the front panel as you like, the same way you can manipulate any windows screen. Then change something in the vi so it is edited (you know a vi was edited and hasn't been saved when the title of the window has an asterisc) Then, save your vi. The new appearanc of the window will be saved too (unless the settings were already modified, as explained in the previous paragraph.)

Also, as Gorka mentioned, check for controls or indicators out of bounds.

Is this in labView 6? could find only a margin which changes IMHO
only the print out, I was talking about the panel I see on the screen.

The problem here is to find them.

1 there is no *un*zoom of the window to find 'lost' objects
2 there is no possibility to show all the hidden objects for a while
to check where they are

any hints?

Thanks
