Labview portability???????

[Daniel]

Hello,

when I write application in labview on my PC and try to open it on my
colleagues computer I always experience changes in text dimention, colors
and form shapes.

What do I miss?

Thanks

Have a look at the font recommendations in the following article:

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview/page/porting-vis-among-platforms.html

in particluar, the note:

• (Windows) LabVIEW uses the font that Windows uses for filenames in Explorer. For the U.S. version of Windows, this is usually MS Sans Serif or Tahoma. The size of the font depends on the settings of the video driver because you can set higher resolution video drivers to use Large Fonts or Small Fonts. We recommend Small Fonts and Windows standard settings.

As usual, Altenbach is right. 

One more thing to look at is is you are using dialog fonts, it will take the font settings (both font and size) from the windows system.  Sometimes this is exactly what you want, but it often makes things very difficult to get it to look right from machine to machine.

Hope that this helps,
Bob Young.

Hi Daniel,

One more tip for you from my own experience is that, to carry over all the properties and options you had selected in the development environment to application environment, one has to copy the data in the text file "labview.ini"  to the text file "application.ini".

Here "application" is nothing but the name of your LabVIEW application file. Both these text files are created during the creation of the application file.

Hope this works. And for the experts, if you find anything wierd in my solution, do voice your opinion.

Best Regards,

Mohan.
