Font Size change affecting frontpanel arrangemnet

[Shanmugarajan]

I am using labview 2010 SP1 and windows 7.In the front panel I am using the cluster controls.the controls using Application font 16.This cluster is a typedef cluster.cluster allingn ment and arrangemnet are fine in windows 7 and labview 201sp1.If i move my application to otherthan windows 7 or different labview version.The application font size is shrinking to 17 application font.So it is changing front panel controls allingnment.so it is affecting my applications asthetic look.Can any one give the solution for this problem.

Are you using typedef or strict typedef controls?. I guess strict typedef may fix the problem but not sure about how LabVIEW GUI changes depending on the OS.

[Shanmugarajan]

No i am not using strict typedef because dynamically i am changing the value of the that control.so I cant use strictypedef

Unless you change the property of the Control you should not be having any problem in using Strict typedef.

ya but the controls are combo box array so every time i am give the string property values to combo box...so it is crating the problem.other than that I locked the cluster arrangement.I am using application 16 font.in difererent version of labview it is changing to application 17 font

Hi Shanmugarajan,

  I think you should have one look at LabVIEW.ini which contains the Application font along with the size.So this may be the reason the different Font sizes in other version of LabVIEW.
