How to scroll front panel at runtime

[Sonali]

      Hi

            I'm using LabVIEW 8.5. I want to scroll front panel automatically according to moving object. I'm attaching one vi as an example, in which I'm moving the picture but if it is out of screen limit I have to scroll the horizontal scroll bar manually to see the position of the picture, is it possible that it will scroll automatically according to my object position.

                                        -  Thank you in advance

Hi, Sonali,

You can use Origin property node for autoscroll.

Modified example in attachment.

Thank you for reply but I'm using LabVIEW 8.5 not 8.5.

Ups...

Here downconverted to 8.5

Thank u All,

                        is it possible to make object visible at runtime, as of now horizontal scroll bar is moving but after screen limit the train is going outside the screen (in attach file). I need to make the train visible all time wherever it will go in screen. 

                                                          -   THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Hi Sonali,

what do you mean? What do you want to make visible at runtime? In your case it should be enough to change the origin as shown in the examples before.

Hi, Sonali,

Well, now I see what you needed. From my point of view using front panel scrolling for such animation is wrong way (otherwise I don't know your final goals).

I would like to recommend to use picture control for this. Here a little bit more hand work, but you will get better results and your  Front Panel will be not scrolled.

For example, "quick and dirty" implementation:

Hi mike,

                 I mean to say I want to make the train picture at middle of screen and background(front panel) moving. When the train moves only its background will change.
