Hello everyone,
it is my first time asking a question in this forum, which would be:
Is there a way to Change the size or appearance of this cursor palette from above. I would like to make its size smaller without changing any other thing in the frontpanel.
If not, is there a way to open the palette to the top and not like to the bottom of the frontpanel.
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

It always opens to the bottom, but you can move the graph palette anywhere you like, e.g. along to the top edge of the graph.

Thanks for your advice, but that is not what I intended.
And actually it does not always open to the bottom. It opens to the top, if the palette window would collide with the bottom of your screen. So in fact before printing the window on your screen LabVIEW reads the position of the button which opens the palette.

Ah, I have not tried placing the window at the very bottom of the screen. In all other cases, it always opens to the bottom, even exceeding the window margin.
Can you explain what problem you are trying to solve? This palette is only visible while operated and immediately disappears. It can't really be in the way of anything.
In any case, you can of course hide the graph palette (the cursor palette is something else!) and make your own, then use your own code to change graph properties.

My very problem is, that the graph palette, as you have already figured out, is sticking out of the the frontpanel. For my program I needed to avoid that particular case.
I have already read some forums about making your own palette and fixing it like that. Anyways I guess there is no programmic way to talk to the palette window.
Thanks for your help 🙂

You can't talk to the window, but you CAN make your own. Make your own window however you'd like, then use the property node Palette:Active Tool. That's what that popup window is doing anyway.
