How to fix the Labview Decorations with Tabs

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi, 

I am using a decoration box in my front panel, I want to fix that box with tab, so that user can't move it or drag it. Is there a way to do that? 

Thanks

I don't understand your problem: why/how should a user be able to "move or drag" a decoration on your front panel of your executable???

So, you can see in below screen shots, the background box is moveable, I want to fix it so that user can't even select it when put cursor on the box, user should only access the controls.

You can group front panel elements…

 

Still the question is: why do your users have access to VI front panels in edit mode?

You can lock any front panel object, even decorations.

You can "lock" everything on the panel like Basjong53 has shown, but your end user can simply "unlock" them.

 

GerdW has an extremely valid question that I will rephrase.

 

Why are your end users running programs from the LabVIEW development environment?

 

This issue will not exist if you are compiling your LabVIEW program into a Windows executable and distributing that to your end user. 

 

BTW: You are free to distribute and even charge money for executables, no further licencing is required.

So, right now the project is in debugging stage, here the user means me and my colleagues.

Actually you can lock things individually here is an example
