How to remove sub panel scrollbars with LabVIEW 2009-SP1?

I did a search and found this thread on the subject: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/subpanel-scollbars-in-labview-8-0/m-p/284503/highlight/false#M149983

I double checked that that the horizontal and vertical scrollbars were not selected in the Customize Window Appearance and they were not selected as shown in the image below.  You can see the nasty scrollbars in the front panel in the image at the bottom.  Of couse, since the code / sw cannot be shown, it has been painted over but you can still see the scrollbars along the frame of the sub-panel.

Customized Window Appearance settings:

Scrollbars are seen at the bottom & right of the sub panel frame

Found the solution...

Right click on the scrollbars and select Horizontal Scrollbar and choose Always Off.

Repeat for the Vertical Scrollbar.

Just ran into this myself.  (To complicate matters, forgot that one of my debug tools turns the scroll bars back on upon program exit.)  "Off While Running" works, too.  You can insert this code onto the diagram of any VI that will be called in a subpanel.

Thanks for the tip.

Actually, Off While Running is quite useful, since you can scroll the Front Panel while developing which makes life much easier.

Thanks LabBean for posting how to do it programmatically.

I am having the same problem as the OP. However, the proposed solution does not seem to work for me.

I found the HorizScrollbarVisibitily and VertScrollbarVisibitily properties for the PANE (or parent window), but those two properties do not show up in the Subpanel Properties...

FYI, I am using LV2013.

Solved my issue...I didn't fully read / understand the solution. You have to set the scrollbar visibilty in the Pane Properties for EACH SubVI that you load into the Subpanel. The scrollbar visibility is NOT set for the Subpanel, it is set by the called VI only.
