Can CVI editor please please not change my windows

[Vishi Anand]

when I do a search, it always put the results in a window at the bottom
of the screen. But this also resizes my code window. Why not put this
new window on top or better yet, let me stick it somewhere and have the
CVI editor remember that position for next time. Will save so much time.

Right-click on the Find Results window at the bottom, and select "Release Window". The window will pop out from the workspace. After you close it, CVI will remember that it's released, and the next time you do a search it will still appear as a top-level window.

Luis,

I am using the traditional CVI style in 7.0. When I right click on the
Find Results window, I don't see "Release window". (I think it is
already released as I can move it anywhere)

The problem I have is where ever I put this widnow, when I do another
search, it always comes back at the bottom and it does that by resizing
my code window. I just want to put this window on another monitor if I
can do it.

Okay, I see.

It's resizing it probably because your source window is either maximized, or too large for both windows to appear in the same monitor. Unfortunately, there is no way, in classic mode, to prevent the Find Reseults window from "docking" itself to the edge of the source window (and resizing the source window, if necessary).

However, from what you wrote in your original posting, I get the impression that you have no great need for this window, and you would just as well not have it appear at all. If that's the case, you could just check off the "Show All Matches" option in the Find dialog, and this window will not come up. Would that solve your problem?
