I use a set of buttons.

Each button makes the related panel active.

The user cannot move or resize them, only select which one is active.

One other step is to replace the button for the current panel with one for anothe panel.

Also, helps to but labels at bottom of panels.

Unfortunately, there is not a direct way that you can “lock down” the panels to prevent the user from moving them. However, one thing you might want to consider is to use a button that will automatically position the panels where you want them every time the button is pressed. Another thing you could use is a timer that will automatically position the panels where you want them at a specific time interval. Both of these methods involve using the X and Y data members of a Panel.

However, I would suggest that you submit a product suggestion for the next revision of Lookout to include the feature that you are looking for. Please go to ni.com/contact and then go to the Product Feedback section.

In Lookout 5.1 I can't get the system to save the panel positions precisely no matter what. The save, save as and save all commands do not seem to save panel positions properly for some reason. I guess X and Y properties of panels must be set programmatically if panel position is important.
