LabView PDA screen help

[bfeld]

I am currently developing vi's for the Pocket PC. I having trouble with my GUI's. In particular, getting my objects to fit well on the screen. Is there any way to add scroll bars to the programs, or to make the objects smaller so they will fit on the screen??

The best suggestion I have for you is to make sure you are using the PDA templates. When you open a New VI select "New..." rather than "New VI". Then select Palm OS or Pocket PC Screen. The VI template that opens has a screen that is the right size for your Palm screen. Then you just need to make sure everything fits inside that front panel.

In addition I don't believe you can add scroll bars to the front panel.

i know this thread is "very old", but i have the same Problem.
Is there any other solution, now?

There is still no other solution, but hopefully in LV 8.

My turn now!! Does anybody know if this is now a feature?

I have written some software for a standard pda but someone wants to use it on a smartphone with a smaller screen. Is there anyway to get scrollbars to come up to compensate for the smaller screen?

Thanks

I haven't seen scrollbars for the PDA in 8.2, don't know if 8.5 has them. Screen sizes for PDAs is always an issue, since there are so many devices with so many different screens.

In my programs, I've had to simply make 2 or 3 different versions of the same VI in different sizes and orientations (landscape & portrait). I then have my main program read the current screen size (using PDA Get Screen Size), and load the appropriate sub-vi. Its clunky, but the end user doesn't see a difference.
