Front Panel:Run-Time Position:Get Position Method

Short Name: FP.Run-Time Pos.Get

Requires: Base Development System

Class: VI Methods

To Use: Create a method.

Returns the default position of the front panel window at run-time.

Parameters

Data typeNameRequiredDescription
TypeNoReturns whether the front panel is unchanged, centered, maximized, minimized, or has a custom setting.
PositionNoIndicates the top left coordinate of the front panel window position.
SizeNoIndicates 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.
MonitorNoSpecifies 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.
Use Current PositionNoReturns the value of the Use Current Position checkbox in the Window Run-Time Position dialog box.
Use Current SizeNoReturns the value of the Use Current Size checkbox in the Window Run-Time Position dialog box.
