Locking the bounds of a graph on the front panel.

Solved!
Go to solution

How do you lock the bounds of a front panel graph?  I don't want the user to be able to select the scale and type in a number which will resize the plot. 

 

I am using the graphs property node to set the minimum and maximum on the scale, but the user is still able to mess with them.  I'm trying to make it idiot proof

There is a property node for editable scales. You can still edit when the VI is not running, but it locks it during runtime.

And if you are worried about them editing anything while the VI is not running, you can always change the protection of the VI to "locked." This just means that the user can't edit anything, but they can still access and change controls on the front panel.

That took care of it.  I should have known, you can do anything with property nodes.

Thanks
