front panel size

[Strokes]

I've developed an application in labVIEW and have resized the front panel to keep it as small/neat as possible.

However when I run the .exe on another monitor it messes up the front panel i.e. resizing controls, squashing graphs etc.

I've messed about with the window size option in vi properties but haven't found a solution.

Is there any solution to this problem or will I just have to work around it?

My own monitor's resolution is 1280x1024 by the way if that in any way makes a difference

If you do a search on this issue you will see that it is a very common problem. I am assuming you tried the "Maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions" setting? What is the resolution of the other monitor?

If you know the monitor size that you will be transfering to you can set the max allowable siz of the vi window to that so you can see your working size only. That is what I do when I am making a program for a fixed window size.

The other monitor I'm running the application on is 1280x800 but I would like a solution where it would be the same on all monitors if that was possible which seemingly it isn't...

Hi,

If you want the VI to run on all displays, it is always better to design it in a low resolution (say 1024 * 768 ) and making the Window Run Time position Centered instead of Maximised in the VI Properties. This must make the window look small while running it in high resolution displays, but it wont be distorted in any of the displays who have a resolution of atleast 1024 * 768 .
