LAVA 1.0 Content Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 hope they could create a vi tat allows user to zoom in or zoom out if the labview gui is too big or too small. Quote Link to comment
Neville D Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Rather than create a VI to zoom in/out, design your UI to fit on the smallest screen resolution in use. Use tabs to separate controls/indicators that can be grouped. Have pop-ups to set parameters. Use menu items for rarely adjusted items. Having a zoom feature just encourages laziness and poor UI designs. N. Quote Link to comment
hooovahh Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I completely agree, but some times I would like to be able to get a complete picture of the VI that maybe I didn't make, and I don't know where some controls may be hidden far to the right or left. Sure the scroll bar gives an indication that some thing is over there. Quote Link to comment
Neville D Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Take a look at VIEW>Navigation Window (Ctrl-Shift-N) for an overall view of either the Front Panel or Diagram, but it only works in Edit mode (in the Development Environment).. not for executables. This can help you find out where the errant cotrols/indicators are, fix it, and then save the VI so it doesn't happen in future. N. Quote Link to comment
