By using a property node on the application reference, you can find out the pixel boundaries for both your monitors.

The primary monitor is found in "Display->Primary Workspace", and to get the bounds for the other monitors (including primary) use "Display->All Monitors"

Then open a VI reference to the VI that you want to re-position, and set the bounds for your VI using the properties found in the "FrontPanelWindow" subpalette.

I don't remember if it is PanelBounds or WindowBounds, and I don't have access to LV at the moment to check, you will just have to try.

Notice that you will have to set all properties (left, right, top, bottom) in order to move the window, otherwise you will just resize the panel.

LV 8.2 actually has a "FrontPanel.Monitor" property for VIs which should make this even easier.
