Front Panel:Center <Method>

[Val Brown]

I'm using LV8.0.1 and am trying to implement:

VI Server:VI:Front Panel:Center

Which is a method, at least according to the Help system (Search Front Panel: center to see the entry).

I simply cannot find this method when I try to set up an invoke node for it. I know that I can invoke this method (although I think of it as a property) by using the VI Properties interface but I need to be able to set this programmatically, not statically.

I'm sure I must be doing something really DUMB, or perhaps DUMBER AND DUMBERER but 'whatev' (as my 20yo daughter would say) is happening, I can't figure it out.

Can anyone help me out with this?

(I don't have 8.0 here)

Try using the class browser (ctrl-shift-B) and do a search for center.

OK, that did it. Thanks!

I'm a bit surprised that I couldn't get to the same place by right-clicking and exploring from there on the Invoke Node. No matter how I did the search from there I simply couldn't find that Method.

Again, thanks. That's a great feature.

Is it possible your node had the wrong class?

Application is the default class and you need the VI class.

That was the curious thing for me. I had the VI class, not the Application class. But, who knows what I actually did. Afterall there are some who would say I have no class. ;-)
