Maximizing Window while Control Hidden Doesn't Behave Properly

[bmoyer]

Hi, I've run into a situation where I'm trying to take advantage of the resizing capabilities of LV8.x and I'm running into a snag I was hoping to get some help on.

Basically, when I have a (grouped) control hidden and then maximize the window and then show the control, the control is not where it should be.

I've attached an example VI.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Bruce

Hello,

When you are resizing your front panel, it only resizes the visible windows. I have tested this out and submitted a corrective action request (CAR #182933). If you want your panel positioned properly, I would suggest forcing the placement of the cluster by adding an event structure for a panel resize event. This will allow you to determine the coordinates of where it should be.

Thanks for the advice.  I have implemented programmatic positioning of controls using the Resize event and it works great!  By the way, because Panel Resize events can accumulate very fast, I only reposition the controls when the event property NewBnds=FP.PanelBounds.
