Hello,
When trying to programmatically set the front panel bounds in Labview 8.5, I receive:
Error 1 occurred at Property Node (arg 1) in Channel Viewer.vi
LabVIEW: An input parameter is invalid. For example if the input is a path, the path might contain a character not allowed by the OS such as ? or @.
=========================
NI-488: Command requires GPIB Controller to be Controller-In-Charge.
Property Name: Front Panel Window:Panel Bounds
This error is dealt with in the following article in the knowledge base:

However, after changing the minimum window bounds to 0,0, this error persists. I've played around with wiring different constants to the bounds, and can't seem to find one for which I don't receive the error.
If anybody can help shed some light on this issue, I'd appreciate it.

Can you post your vi?

Hello, here's a screenshot of the VI in question. Not pictured are some visibility property nodes that are set initially.

Without having your actual VI it's hard to say for sure, but try using an invoke node to open the window, rather than the property node

Hello,
I tried changing to invoke node but it didn't seem to make any difference. Here's the VI, as requested. Your help is much appreciated, thanks.

I didn't get an error when I ran your VI, before or after I added teh Invoke Node... I had to change the path to a folder that had images, of course, but the first frame of the sequence executed without error.

Hmm, I can't see why it would be any different on my system. Seems strange.
