Resize a control (i.e. String Control)

[John Cruz]

NT 4.0

Hello,

I would just like to know if there is a way to:

1) programmatically resize a control inside my VI program.

2) get the width & height of my VI panel.

Right now, im making my panel run into full screen size (size of desktop)
whenever it starts up, which in turns I want my one control to adjust also
it's position and size.

You don't have to answer both question so if you only know one, I would
greatly appreciate it.

TIA
John

Sorry for being ignoramus... I found a way to set the width and height
(using the properties text size/width/height).

I'm still trying to get the #2.

Quick Answer:
"Create\ Attribute Node" by right clicking on control and selecting on the
pull down.
Right Click on Node and "Select Item" Position and Bounds
You can input and output from these nodes.
That should do it.

Hi,

did you try to use VI class property node to set "Front Panel Window"->"Panel Bounds" property?

Kind regards.
