printing programmatically a window

[Urs B]

The User Interface of my VI has different looks depending on the position of one of the menus. For
documentation I would like to print out all the menu items looks. I think it's no problem to to loop
over the menu items, but how can I programmatically print out the window? (LV5 or 6.1)
The data shown do change regullarely, so I do not want to make this manually, what is of course the
most simple way...at least the first time

Any hints are appreciated.

Not sure what are you trying to print, the menu, the front
panel, or both ? I don't think LabVIEW can capture an pop
up menu. Since you're using LV5, you can download
SnapVIEW from my web site. It can capture any part of
the screen, include popup menu, and save to bmp file.
You can print the bmp file with MS Paint.

There is a VI called Print Panel.vi that you can use to print the panel at any time. It is located in the Application Control sub-palette of the Functions palette. You may want to try using that one.

Thanks, that's it

The only difficulty left is that the printer in my network collapse when I send such a lot of data -
maybe I will try with a dely in the loop of 500 sec....
