resizing window

Solved!
Go to solution

When I reduce the size of structure (such as a while loop or for loop), the contents of the structure don't move, they disappear underneath the structure. The code still works, but it's annoying particularly when I resize a case or event structure with lots of cases because I have to expand it and manually move the contents into sight. 

 

Any ideas?

Hi,

 

right-click the structure, enable AutoGrow. Now you can't hide any content of the structure...

Best regards,

What version of LabVIEW are you running? It sounds like you have an older version of LabVIEW. I haven't really seen the behavior you're describing in current versions of LabVIEW. On older ones, yes.

 

EDIT: Do you have AutoGrow enabled or disabled in the LabVIEW options or on the specific structure?

EDIT2: Looks like GerdW asked the same question while I was editing my response.

Right-Click the structure and check 'Auto Grow'.  Should be on by default, double check Tools->Options->Block Diagram near the top is the option to place structures with Auto Grow Enabled.

 

Edit:  Took too long checking old LV versions for Auto Grow.  At least makes it to 8.2

Excellent! Thanks everyone. I probably copied and pasted a loop that didn't have auto grow enabled.
