Setting a Single Front Panel Object to Scale

Complete the following steps to set a single front panel object to scale automatically when the front panel window resizes.

  1. Select the front panel object you want to scale.
  2. Select Edit»Scale Object With Panel. A checkmark appears beside this option when you select it.

After you designate a single object on the front panel to scale automatically, gray lines outline several regions on the front panel. The regions define the positions of the other front panel objects in relation to the object you want to scale. When you resize the front panel window, the object you set to scale automatically resizes and repositions itself relative to its original location. The gray lines disappear when you run the VI.

To set an object not to scale with the front panel, complete the previous steps to de-select Scale Object With Panel.

You also can use the Set Front Panel Scaling Mode method to set a single front panel object to scale programmatically.
