How to make controls same size?

[Lenin]

Hi to all,
I have a couple of controls on a front panel and for estetic reasons I want
to make them same size (width and height). I have found functions for
allignment and distribution, but there is no way to modify the size of a
selection. I know, that this can be done programatically, but is it true,
that there is no way to do this during editing? Every graphical editor
provides this feature including the CVI GUI editor. So nobody missed this in
LabVIEW?

Try Property Node i.e. Button Size for a Boolean Control

Thank you, but as I mentioned, I know that this is possible programatically.
I was looking for a way to make controls same size while editing a VI, not
during runtime. Currently I see no other way than dragging every single
control with the mouse to the desired size. It should be easy for NI to add
a menu entry for "make same width" and "make same height". Or I'm wrong?

If you mean you are using multiple instances of the same type of control, you can save one of them as a strict type def (advanced>>customize), then replace the other instances with this.

See the project "Copy-Paste boolean attributes" on http://openg.org. This tool allows to copy size/colors/strings from a boolean control and apply it to other controls.

Something I have wanted myself for a long time is the ability to group select several indicators and set properties like size on all of them at once through a dialog box.

Oh, well maybe someday.

This will be implemented in LV 7.
Only few months to wait...
