Save control\Indicator properties into .bin file

[YogeshShivarudrappa]

Hi All,

1. I want to get all the properties of the indicator\control and save the same into the bin file.

2. And i want read these properties in another VI.

For the first point, is there any way to save all the properties like, font size, position, bounds and etc. Or i should get all the properties by using property node for each property?

And with the second point, I am able to do it, no issues with it.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks, 

Yogesh

Hi

The easy way is to make your controls/indicators as typedef / Strict typedef.

Hi,

Yes, making typedef will copy the properties, but i want to get the properties with the monitor resolution set to different values. I want my application tobe used at different monitor resolution. So, I will save the control, indicator and decoration properties, save it in bin file. Wen the screen resolution changes apply respective properties and th UI looks fine.

So, I need to save the properties into bin file.

Thanks,

Hi what about vi properties windows size option are you checked it out?

[YogeshShivarudrappa]

Hi,

Yes this is also an other option. But sometimes, the controls will overlap and results in messd-up UI.

So I opted this option. 

Any other way of doin the same guys?

Thnaks,
