Print controls in scrolling pane with splitter


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have a front panel with a vertical splitter bar with a lot of controls on the left pane that can be scrolled and some buttons on the right pane that I don't want to scroll with the rest of the controls so they are easily accessible. I wanted the user to be able to print the left side of the pane somehow. Whenever I try I can only get a cut off picture of the whole thing so some controls aren't visible in the print out.

Here is an example of what I have so far in LV 8.6. (I'm using the report generation toolkit)

You could also use use a subpanel control sized to fit the pane to the left of your splitter. Then make a new VI with the controls on the left side and put that VI into the subpanel. Then when you want to print, just print the new subvi rather than the main VI. You probably have to move some or all of your block diagram code into your new subvi, so this only works if your code is modular enough to change the block diagrams.
