Front Panel:Run-Time Position:Centered Method

Short Name: FP.Run-Time Position.Centered

Requires: Base Development System

Class: VI Methods

To Use: Create a method.

Configures the referenced VI to center its front panel every time the VI runs. If the VI is running when you call this method, the change does not take effect until the next time the VI runs.

If you want to change the position of the VI while it is running, use the Front Panel Window:Window Bounds property instead.

This method is similar to selecting Centered from the Position pull-down menu on the Window Run-Time Position page of the VI Properties dialog box.

Parameters

Data type	Name	Required	Description
	Monitor	No	Specifies 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.
	Size	No	Indicates the size of the window. For single-pane front panels, Size refers to the content area of that pane, not including the scroll bars. For multi-pane front panels, Size refers to the entire front panel, including any visible scroll bars. LabVIEW returns an error if you set the width or height to 0 or set the width or height less than the minimum window size.
