i am developing my gui's on  19" monitor and i was wondering if there is a way to scale the application if i was to put it on a smaller monitor.  i have scroll bars but would like to have it scale.

The monitor size is less important than the resolution and aspect of the monitor.  If you develope at one resolution such as 1024x768 it will scale correctly for different monitors with this setting automatically. If you want to scale for different resolutions there is a vi property for this although it doesnt always work perfectly so test at the possible resolutions.

Here is a thread on the issue, the solution is at the end.
I just haven't found the "window resize" they talk about yet.

Hi lfoitek,
 
The Window Size properties of a VI are explained here.  I would experiment with different combinations of "Maintain proportions..." and "Scale all objects..."
