How to resize a group of controls

[concorpoly]

Hi, I am a novice at Labwindows. when I try to resize a group of square command buttons, I can't find a way to make them same size.

Do Labwindows has an function to resize a group of controls same height, same width or max height, max wdith, min height, min width? just like Labview does.

Hi,

as far as I know in the UI editor you will have to select the controls individually and press Shift+F10 on each to set size and position. In the source code, you can loop through your controls, which is simplified using control arrays, introduced with CVI 2010, see here

Just a minor correction: in the UI editor, you don't have to select them individually. You can group-select them, then press <Shift-F10> (Arrange>>Control Coordinates) and then use the "All" buttons in the control coordinates dialog to set the sizes for all controls.

Hi Luis,

Thanks for teaching me... I knew that it is possible to select several controls. But when I pressed <Shift-F10>, changed the width, pressed OK, only the first control was affected. I never realized and tried the "All" button, until now

Thanks!

I admit that it's not the most obvious UI in the world.
