I don't understand your question.

You are showing a dialog box that shows you the position!

Your picture shows the position as 10,50. What else do you need?

Note that these items in the properties dialog are actually controls, so you can (1) see the current position, or (2) type in another value to change the position.

What is your LabVIEW version?

Maybe we don't understand your question.

I think he wants a tooltip to constantly update with his position, in the front panel/block diagram view, with live data, so he can drop it exactly in the right place, not in a sub menu.

I don't know if such a feature exists in LabVIEW.

If that is the case, it is easy enough to drop it near where you want, and then edit the properties to put it exactly where you want.

You can also use a property node to get and set the position of a control.

Just open the attached VI (you may want to place it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 20??\project")

Then click in the control you want to monitor.
