Splitters and panes are a big help in implementing resizable interfaces. Basically you use splitters to get one control per pane, and you can control how the splitters move as the window is resized (via right-click options on the splitters). Then if your controls have the "Size Object to Fit Pane" option checked, then they will resize reasonably well. The splitters can be resized to be very thin so they don't look as goofy. It still takes some effort to get things working well, so don't do it unless you need to.

Agreed. It seems to only work well when the only object in the pane is a graph or chart.

Hi lablc, To set the boundaries of your front panel, go to File -> VI Properties -> Window Size and adjust the Width and Height parameters. Then, go to your front panel window (when it's not running) and shrink it as much as you can. It should not let you shrink it past the settings you entered. From my experience, auto-scaling front panels in LabVIEW rarely produces good results. I always set the boundaries of my front panel first (in your case you would need to find the parameters that cause the panel to fit the screen for your resolution) and then I start developing the UI accordingly.
