Using the web publishing tool - problem with maximizing ie windows

[shoemakesmusic]

hey guys and gals,

I am using the web publishing tool and it works fine.  However, when I am running the vi remotely with control enabled, I experience a bit of a problem.  The top level vi opens fine, but when I do something that calls a subVI, a new window pops up.  This window is the correct subVI, but it doesn't come up full screen.  Is there a way to make these subVIs pop up in a maximized state?  Keep in mind, when I am running the program on the host computer this problem doesn't occur.  In other words, the subVIs pop up full screen without any problems.

thanks in advance!

Hi, shoemakemusic.

You can achieve this behavior in a couple of ways. The simplest is to maximize your subVI and save it in the state. When it's called by the top-level VI, it'll appear at the same size. If you're using monitors of different resolutions, however, you may want to use a property node in your subVI to set Front Panel Window»Keep Window Proportions. I think the Context Help window describes this property's functionality best: "The window changes size so it covers the same percentage of the screen that it covered at its original resolution." Just save your subVI in a maximized state and make sure this property is set at the beginning of the VI.

Good luck! Let me know if you have any problems. Have a nice evening!

thanks so much.  I won't have the time to actually test this for a week, but it sounds like it might work.


THANKS!
