Add Position to the Properties Dialog

[smmarlow]

I searched for this one and couldn't find it.  Apologies if it's already been posted.

I like this (it's a generalization of my last idea).

[smmarlow]

I can't understand why it was never added.  Seems like it an oversight, as there is plenty of room on the dialog.  I like your Pane properties idea, and gave it kudos.

If you like this idea, and other Properties dialog ideas, I'd be interested to know why my idea for a pinned Property window is not so popular??  Especially for setting the position of objects (where you'd typically want to set several at fixed intervals).  Maybe comment over there if you could...

I like the idea, but making better it. I have another...

why do not make a property dynamical panel similar to Visual Basic , or C++, to put all these properties include position of controls, And also .. leaving editables the shared properties when we select a group of controls.

WHAT DO U  THINK?

[TCPlomp]

Rafa, I believe GregS idea is a reprsentation of that.

Tired of waiting.  Make the change myself.

It's easy.  You only need to change one VI:

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013\resource\PropertyPages\Pages\ PropPage_Appearance.vi

zou, that's not editable for me (in LV 2012).  Is this unlocked in LV 2013?

[BVSmith]

Still locked in 2017
