View final (execution) front panel during edition

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi all Labview users,

 

I'm currently developping an application with LV 2015, and i try to define and set correctly my front panel. Then i'm wondering one thing:

Is it possible to have a view of what the front panel looks like when i'll execute my application?

 

Because, when i work on  my front panel, i have the menu bar, the toolbar and others things, that i disable when my application run. So when i try to place my indicators and/or my controls, it is never very good because when i run my application the size of the visible front panel is bigger than the one in Edition mode.

 

 

I'm not sure if i'm very clear, but if someone knows how to have the same visible front panel in edition or in run mode, it will be very helpfull.

 

Thanks

Does pressing Ctrl+M resolves your problem?

Hi

 

Thanks for your answers.

 

I try the shortcut you've mentionned.

However there is the same problem.

 

I put some controls near of the top of my front panel. I check in Run mode (with Ctrl-M) that my control is still near of the top. It is OK.

But when i click on RUN, i show a gap between the top of the front panel (in fact the window) and my control. This gap is not visible when i checked my front panel in Run mode.

Have you tried to put you code aligned with the axis mark/(pane)!

 

Please share screenshot

Can you attach a VI that shows this behavior with the gap?

Hi

 

So i change my Vi in order to remove some private part.

Here's the main VI. 

Don't worry if any buttons work. I removed or i didn't make the code yet.

 

For information:

 + i use LV2015 SP1 64bits

 + i use windows 7

 + my screen resolultion is 1366 * 768

 

When you open the VI :

 1/ type Ctrl-M

     You'll see a small white space between the top of the screen and the big black square.

 2/ Run the VI

     You'll see a bigger white space between the top of the screen and the big black square.

I believe it is because your custom window run time position is changing the panel size. Either set the custom size to the current size or check the box for use current panel size

I've made some test, and the problem is not complety resolved.

Some times it works. But sometimes not.

If i move one controle, or if i add a new one, the problem is back
