How to maintain LV Screen resolution from low resolution to high resolution

[pravin]

Hi all,

I am facing problem of screen resolution, when i am switching from low resolution(1280*1024) to high resolution(1920*1200) my front panel object got stretched and deformed.

i have tried VI properties but it still same.please help.

 

 

Thanks,

Yeah that setting in the VI properties is mostly useless.  I say mostly because it does function, just not consistently with more than a few controls.  You may resize to make it bigger, then go back to smaller and controls will move slightly, things won't be aligned any more and other general UI issues.  

 

For these reasons I never use that function.  Instead I make my UI scale appropriately, using a series of splitters, and some times the Panel/Pane Resize events.  The more complicated the UI the more work it is but it pays off in the long run when a EXE can be ran on any monitor resolution greater than some limit.  If you have 2012 open the Finite DAQ Acquire example, it does some basic UI scaling using splitters.

Unless you care about covering the whole screen you can just leave the panel size alone and use it as is.  I do agree with hoovahh that the resize function doesn't work well.
