scrollbars in the middle of panel

[holgerh]

My panel scrollbars are in the middle of the panel (see attached screenshot). I don't know how I did it. Worse though, I don't know how to get them back to the edges of the panel.

Any help is appreciated. BTW, I'm using LV 8.6. If I create a new VI, everything is normal so I could just copy everything over ...

Thanks,

Hi...

When you open a new VI. Did you got the same kind of window...or you got perfectly.

Because it is not like the scrool bar.... May be string control with transperent background Color....

Try it and tell me.

When I create a new VI or when I open another VI I do not have the problem.

I don't understand what you mean when saying "Because it is not like the scrool bar.... May be string control with transperent background Color...".

But What I feel... Post your code...

I think by mistake you made the color of the background to invisible...

Edit the Background in the sense...

Shift + Right Click will give that pallet

Like this... It may be become invisible....

For more questions pleae post your code...

Do you have the code that has the problem (try posting it in LV8.6)... It might be due to the customisation of the VI from the file menu... That is you might have changed the properties of the VI...

Here's the code. I should have attached it right away...

Thanks,

They are the scrollbars for the VI.  If you move them, the front panel scrolls with it.  The control and indicator are the only objects in the VI and they are both visible on the front panel and the block diagram.

I think somehow your VI has gotten corrupted slightly.  Now that you have attached the VI, someone from NI might be able to investigate the actual file.

Here is a thread where I somehow managed to get the VI corrupted and it showed up as a scrollbar problem.  I have no idea what caused it.  And no way how to fix it other than copying my code to a new VI.

The orignal VI had some "real" code on the block diagram which I deleted. I just put the string control and indicator in as dummies which can be moved with the scroll bars. In the meantime I copied everything over to a new VI, so I'm good. However, I would really like to understand how this happenend.

Thanks to everyone!

Did you ever find out what happened? Is it possible that the code you removed modified some property nodes for the panel?
