Hi Asif,

Most applications only have a horizontal or vertical scroll bar, so it sounds very unintuitive to scroll at some other angle. That being said, if you're going to be the main user of the application and you're really convinced this is a feature you want, you can use position properties of the front panel like so:

Rotate your monitor screen to the desired angle and then just scroll away.

Hey,

I don't think that functionality is built into LabVIEW's current builds. 

But, if you'd like to put it out as an idea on the Idea Exchange feel free to post it to the forums there and maybe it'll be included in the future builds.

If you're in development mode you can ctrl+shift+drag in empty space to pan the screen.  Perhaps that's what you mean by scroll any angle?

A Picture control will let you do that!

Of course there will  a bit a coding to back it up and make it work but it could be done.

Borrowed example code Christian developed and posted here

All you have to do is add is to translate the mouse down/up on the pictue control using trig, do a Value change event to the scroll bar and you are done.
