FPGetRuntimePos Method

Requires: Base Development System

Class: VI Methods (ActiveX)

Returns the position of the LabVIEW window at run time.

For single-pane front panels, minimum size refers to the content area of that pane, not including the scroll bars. For multi-pane front panels, minimum size refers to the entire front panel, including any visible scroll bars.

Syntax

object.FPGetRuntimePos([type], [position], [size], [monitor], [useCurPos], [useCurSize])

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
typeFPRuntimePosReturns whether the front panel is unchanged, centered, maximized, minimized, or has a custom setting.
positionArray of variantsA pair of numbers that represents the coordinates of the top left corner of the front panel window. Each element in the pair occupies one element of an array that contains two elements.
sizeArray of variantsA pair of numbers that represents the height and width of the front panel window. Each element in the pair occupies one element of an array that contains two elements.
monitorshortSpecifies the monitor on which the front panel window appears, if you have multiple monitors. The value 0 is the primary monitor and is the default value. If you specify a value other than 0, the VI runs on that monitor. If you specify a monitor number greater than the number of monitors on the system, or if you specify a negative number, LabVIEW returns an error. The monitor number corresponds to the video card you plug the monitor in to.
useCurPosBooleanReturns the value of the Use Current Position checkbox in the Window Run-Time Position dialog box in LabVIEW.
useCurSizeBooleanReturns the value of the Use Current Size checkbox in the Window Run-Time Position dialog box in LabVIEW.
