Front Panel View Find Home Key

[id]

In the Panel View, I am looking for an equivalent key such as Ctrl+Home to press to get me to the location of the origin on screen...Anybody know this one?

I don't know about a short-cut key, but you can set the front panel origin with property nodes.

The cluster should be a 0,0 constant.  Not sure where those went.  With this you can build your our key down event to position it.

Hi Jack,

the [0,0] is gone here

You can use this to detect Ctrl + Home.  Used in conjunction with Jack's example you should be able to get what you want.

Thanks but I am specifically looking for a means to go from my block diagram view where I have a control and switching to the panel view with Ctrl+E which take sme to where my control is on the panel view.  I want to quickly naviagte to the origin on the panel after I do this so I can drag the control to the origin where the rest of my GUI is.  Any ideas?

Double clicking on the terminal will take you directly to the control and highlight it.  If you cannot see the panel origin, it may indicate that your block diagram or front panel is much too large.

Usually it is recommended that the size of the front panel or the block diagram should not exceed the size of the screen.  It sounds like you may have one or both much larger than one screen.

Once you identify the control you want to move, you could use a property node to set it's position.  Run the code once and then delete the property node.  Then it should be on the ui for you to place.  I don't know any other way to set a controls position.

This is what I am looking for, except in a manual mode.  I am suprised the control position is not set-able by hitting rt click properties> position...
