I was looking into buying a beginner's guide to LabVIEW 8 as I have no prior programming experience. I will be using LabVIEW to program a robot.

LabVIEW for Everyone, Travis and Kring is a great book for starting to learn LabVIEW. There was a thread on books which just came up - it might have some good idea's for you:

Good luck with the robot.

Is there any way to lock the frame, or set a default view that always snaps back at run time to what I want it to be in spite of what happens while the program is not running.

Howard,

Open G has many available toolkits, but there is one with many useful functions dedicated to application control - oglib_appcontrol - it can be found using VIPM offered by JKI. There is a function in the tool kit which will fit your application to the largest decoration - therefore you can surround the part of your application with a decoration that you want to always show when executed and it will ensure you see what you want to.

Hope that helps.
