how to resize labels text and images on controls with varying reslution resolution?

[pritam]

Hi all,

can u tell me, how to resize labels, text, decoration,s and images on controls, etc. with varying reslution resolution?

i tried the both the options in the VI properties, but it doesn't work.

plz find the attachments to see the problem.

i am using LabVIEW 8.5 on Windows XP SP2 with monitor resolution of 1280x1024.

when i lowered the resolution after closing labview and opened the vi again at low resoln., it resized the front panel window and not resized the objects, and when i run the vi it run with much expanded front panel window.

do u have any trick to programatically control the vi resilution if the monitor reolution changes.

Hi pritam,

The “maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions” property will maintain the proportional size of the front panel (its x and y sizes) when opened in a different resolution. The front panel objects will not be resized and will appear larger (and may not fit inside the front panel) when saved in a higher resolution, and moved to a lower resolution. You can use the “Keep window proportions” property to achieve the same results.

To have both the front panel dimensions and front panel controls scale, you need to have both the above property and the “scale all objects on front panel as the window resizes” selected. The labels will not be resized by this.

I tried using both properties on two monitors and noticed that the change does not occur when the resolutions between the monitors are different. I had to lower both monitors’ resolution to see the change work properly.

Please post back if you have any questions. Have a great day!
