How do I move the vi FrontPanel View Programatically?  

 

I guess there are several similar sounding settings for changing the external 'size' and 'position' of the frontpanel window.  But i can't seem to find one for it's internal position - ie the position within the front panel that you change when you use the scroll bars on the side of it.  Where is this?

Hmmm,

 

Not quite sure if this is what i'm looking for.  I think - correct me if i'm wrong - that this gets\sets the external window position - rather than the internal window position - perhaps 'view' is a better word for it.  Basically i would like to be able to control what the scrollbars on the side of the vi do.

How about VI properties, Front Panel -> Panes[] -> Origin?
