IMAQ windows settings in CVI

[chin]

HI,
I am creating IMAQ windows as child windows in my LW-CVI panel application. I would like to fix these IMAQ windows size and position at a particular location in my panel. I could not find any function like a "imaqSetWindowAttrribute()" that will let me do this.
I would also like to remove the task bar.
How can one chanche this type of settings in LabWindowsCVI?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks,
JHH

Yusuf C,
I appreciate your help. I have seen all these functions but none of them can be used to fix the position of an IMAQ Window relative to a CVI panel. For instance, I can find the position of the window by calling imaqGetWindowPos();
but there is no such imaqSetWindowPos(); function to set it. I thaoght about using the function imaqMoveWindow(), but this does not prevent the IMAQ Window to be movable.
Also, you can change the title of the window, but you can not remove the title bar.
Do you know any way of modifying these attributes?
Thanks again.
Regards,
JHH

Hello,

You can call the imaqGetSystemWindowHandle function, which will give you a handle for the display window. Referring to that handle, you can treat it as any child window and use the native functions to set the properties you mentioned in your reply.
