automatic panel position

[Yamaeda]

It'd be quite helpful if VI's could be set the Front panel position attribute.

For the 114th time, i just searched for something, scanned through the results and after a small fix compiled the program and deployed it. 2 Popup Panels dont work since they've moved and now show the input cluster ...

Either all Panels should be set to pos 0,0 at runtime, or be configurable as a run time pos.

You mean like this?

@crossrulz: I also do that (I have a brat VI for it) when I need it, but I often think this would a be a great option for the VI Properties. We can set a multitude of other front panel properties from the VI Properties interface but not pane origin(s). This isn't such a bad idea, one which could perhaps be easily implemented.

Yes, Xrules, that functionality should be integrated in the panels. When it happens it's a typical effect of e.g. looking through a "List all instances" of a type def or similar, in which case it moves a panel to show the type def. That's logical, but i'd assume it's extremely rare that's the position people want on the panel afterwards ...

It also seems like a cumbersome solution to add to all VI's on the off chance you search through this one ...

Sounds like a perfect case for a pre-build action.  Or, in other words, there is nothing to prevent you from doing this:

Watch uot for where the quotes are around the word "Default" in the cases.  "Default" is a string in the enumerated FP.Behavior type that we don't want the Default case behavior for.
