Setting All Objects on a Front Panel to Scale

Complete the following steps to set all front panel objects to scale automatically when the front panel window resizes.

  1. From the front panel, select File»VI Properties to display the VI Properties dialog box.
  2. Select Window Size from the pull-down menu at the top of the VI Properties dialog box.
  3. Place a checkmark in the Scale All Objects on Panel as the Window Resizes checkbox. When you select this option, resizing the front panel automatically causes all objects on the front panel to resize and reposition themselves relative to their original locations.
  4. Click the OK button to save your changes.

If you select Scale All Objects on Panel and a single front panel object is already set to scale, a dialog box appears that prompts you to select between setting automatic scaling for one particular object or all objects on the front panel.

You also can use the Set Front Panel Scaling Mode method to set all front panel objects to scale programmatically.
