Issue Details

I work with different monitor resolutions. How can I make sure that the window size of the front panel changes proportionally to the monitor's resolution?

Solution

The standard way to set a Front Panel to automatically adapt to the screen's resolution is to configure it in the VI Properties:

  1. In LabVIEW, go to File >> VI Properties.
  2. Choose Window Size from the Category dropdown.
  3. Check the Maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions checkbox.

If you want the objects of the Front Panel to scale automatically as the window resizes, you can check the Scale all objects on the front panel as the window resizes checkbox as well. This will adapt all your front panel objects to the detected resolution. Note that this could lead to unwanted changes to the position and size of the objects.
