How do I control the location of TestStand OI on the screen?

I'd like to move the TestStand Operator interface to a different location on the screen so that my CVI program can display its own panle on the rest of the area.
How do you do that?
How can you maximize the panel?

Thanks

Hi,
Since you are using CVI, the best way to control the user interface is
using the panel control utilities from CVI. Even though, you are using
TestStand controls to build you application, CVI is the one that
handles the way that your application�s windows or panels are display.
You can go manually into your .UIR file and modify the panel settings
to match your requirements. Additionally, you can also do the same
type of configuration from your code. You can use the
SetPanelAttribute() and the GetPanelAttribute () to read and write
properties from your panel. One of the properties of the panel is its
initial position in the screen.

Hi Diego,

I beleive your answer relates to CVI panels. I know quite well how to
control those. I was asking about controlling the TestStand window!!

Test stand boot up with its window in the middle of the screen. Then,
it adds an interactive window. I would like to control the location
of that window.

Hi,

After the teststand splash window, which is another CVI panel is the
main sequence display panel. This has probably been set in the cvi
panel to appear in the centre of the screen. The TestStand engine
doesn't control these panels which are presented as part of the
Operator Interface. You will have to modify the Testexec software to
shift these windows.
