These options apply to the VI when it is running. Use these options to change how the user interacts with the application by restricting access to LabVIEW features and by changing the way the window looks and behaves. You can make the VI look and act like a dialog box so the user cannot interact with other windows while the VI window is open. You also can remove the scroll bars and the toolbar, and you can set a window to be centered or automatically sized to fit the screen.
This page includes the following components:
Window TitleDisplays the title of the VI window. Remove the checkmark from Same as VI Name to edit this title.
Same as VI NameUses the VI name for the title of the VI window.
Window StyleUses one of the following styles for the VI window:
Top-level Application WindowShows the titlebar and menu bar, hides the scrollbars and toolbar, allows the user to close the window, allows run-time shortcut menus, does not allow resizing, and shows the front panel when called.
DialogThe VI functions as a dialog box in the operating system, so the user cannot interact with other LabVIEW windows while this VI window is open. This option does not prevent you from bringing windows of other applications to the front. UNIX You cannot make a window stay in front of all other windows.
Dialog style windows stay on top, have no menu bar, scrollbars, or toolbar, allow the user to close the window but not resize it, allow run-time shortcut menus, and show the front panel when called. Also, if a Boolean parameter on the front panel is associated with the <Enter> or <Return> key, LabVIEW highlights the parameter with a dark border.
DefaultSame window style used in the LabVIEW development environment.
