Duplicate Picture on Front Panel to Secondary Monitor

[yeshak10]

On my front panel, I have a bunch of controls (numerical, and buttons) and a picture. However, I want to be able to duplicate that picture to take up the entirty of my secondary monitor (in this case a projector). I know how to move the front panel to a secondary monitor, however I just want a copy picture to be on the monitor so that I am able to use my controls and see the picture on the front panel on my laptop. I also have access to IMAQ, but am very new to it and dont know all of its capabilities.

When you say "picture" do you mean like a 2D picture control, or a IMAQ video picture?

A 2D picture control.

I have done exactly that. I created a separate Display.vi. It has a 2D Picture control on the front panel and a Rectangle cluster which gets the size of the image from the calling VI.

The calling VI creates the picture to be displayed and sets the zoom factor on the image to fill the control.

Enhancements I have thought about but have not added would include getting the monitor information from the OS and adjusting the size of the picture control to fill the screen and to have it either select the secondary monitor automatically or provide for manual setup adjustment.  This has been part of a very low priority project over several years.
