Short Name: FP.Run-Time Position.Minimized
Requires: Base Development System
Class: VI Methods
To Use: Create a method.
Sets a VI to minimize 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.
This method is similar to selecting Minimized from the Position pull-down menu on the Window Run-Time Position page of the VI Properties dialog box.
| 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. |
