Issue Details

I am trying to configure my front panel size manually using the VI Properties dialog box as shown in the image below. However, when I clicked OK button, I noticed there is a frame on my front panel and it does not seem to move away by dragging. What caused this and how can I remove this frame on the front panel?

Solution

This frame indicates the panel size that will be displayed when the VI runs. To remove this border, disable the option Scroll panes to origin at run time, which removes the panel boundary from the front panel.
This option is located under File>VI Properties>Window Run-Time Position as shown below.

 

When Scroll panes to origin at run time is unchecked, the frame does not appear.
