front panel scroll bars are missing

[suni]

Hi

Can somebady tell me how to get my front panel scroll bars back. Block diagram is showing them but front panel is not. i can probably open another vi and copy and paste my application. Thanks

Is this when the vi is running? If it is check your vi properties under the File menu.

Hope this helps.

If your vi is in run mode (<> running), change it to edit mode (menu bar > operate > change to edit mode). That should restore immediately the scroll bars.

Then you can access the vi window custom properties (either through the file menu or by right clicking the top right vi icon on the front panel, then window appearance > customize) and check "show scroll bar" options.

If your vi is not in run mode, call an exorcist... 😉

If it is not in the run mode select VI properties>>Window appearance and if customize is checked click on it.

 I didn't realize one could right click on the front panel scroll bars and turn them off during development.

If not in run mode, the scroll bars are always visible, even if the window customize options have been set to "don't show".

When in run mode, not only the scroll bars can be hidden, but the diagram can't be modified, although the vi is not running.

This can be confusing when you don't know the trick !.. 😉

Hmm,

 IN 8.5 if I open a front panel, right click on a scroll bar, I can choose to Allways off both scroll bars.

What is your LabVIEW version?

All the above responses only apply if your front panel does NOT contain splitter bars. Once you have splitter bars, things get a bit more complicated and you can easily create a situation where the scroll bars are also off in edit mode and the VI properties cannot get them back directly.

What you need to do is right-click in the splitter bar and select e.g. right pane (or whatever) as follows:
