Scaling dimensions of controls according to monitor resolution in Labview ver 8.6 (Windows)

Hello.  I got a VI containing a lot of controls and indicators; the Vi was made on a 1920x1080 resolution and it occupies the full screen.
I need a way to automatically scale all controls as window scales in different (minor) monitor resolution.  Vi settings make controls not to scale properly and to loose their relative position.
In the past, I used multiple VI to distribute controls, now I cannot.
What' s the better way to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance
Stefano

Hello Stefano,
I think this is what you are looking for.

  • Scaling Fonts with monitor resolution / Window sizing

    How can I ensure that my fonts scale themselves to the monitor resolution, along with the controls? I do my development on a 21" monitor, and when I take them to the floor, the front panels rescale, but the fonts remain the same, and labels / scaling values end up piled on top of one another. It ends up looking like a jumbled mess.

    I had the same problem. I found that you have to use system font (Ctrl-1) to make it scalable.
    Or you have to setup 21'monitors on the floor
    But if you find another way, would you please let me know.

  • Is there a method in labviewto dynamically save and change the monitor resolution under program control?

    Is there a method in labview to dynamically save and change the monitor resolution under program control? I have another application that runs on another monitor. I would like to change the monitor resoultion to 640x480 on program startup, and then restore the monitor resolution back to the user's settings on exit. Can this be done?

    Have you already done this manually?  I've seen Labview scale front panels very strangely when changing resolutions...

  • Scaling of Tab-Control do not work correct

    When I use the option "rescale objects on the front panel when resizing" in the "window size" category inside the VI properties, then my tab control has a wrong behavior. When I increase my window size, the tab control increases correctly. When I decrease it again, the tab control do not decrease and overlays the other controls.
    Also a horizontal decoration line becomes a transversal line and my string control seems to scale different from the other controls so I get overlay effects again.
    Does anybody know some hints how I can fix this ? If not this feature is not usable and I get some problems with customers with different monitor resolutions.
    Many thanks for any idea
    Thomas

    Yes, there is a known issue with the scaling of tab controls with the window size. This will be fixed in the next release of LabVIEW. For now there is a workaround that might help:
    Only scale the tab control as the panel resizes. Leave the "Scale all Objects on front panel as the window resizes" unchecked. Select the tab-control and go to edit->Scale Object with panel. This will not scale the objects within the pages.
    In general please refer to this document for further information about misplacements that may occurr with the rescale option.

  • Secondary Monitor Resolution Dropped with Mavericks

    After installing Mavericks (should have waited) my second monitor resolution has suddently dropped. It still claims to be 1080p but it is clearly not the same resolution as it was before and has been reduced.
    So annoying.
    Any ideas?

    Hi there,
    the same for me too. I'm using an external monitor from NEC with a native resulition of 1920 x 1200.
    The monitor is connected to a mac mini server from mid 2011 via HDMI.
    In OSX 10.8 the OS automatically selected 1080p as the best resolution which was not correct but I could choose it manually from the list of scaled solutions.
    In Mavericks the native solution of 1920 x 1200 has gone from the list. Only 1080p and 1080i are listed.
    This is very annoying.
    But:
    If I activate my apple tv as a second screen (new feature in Mavericks) all resolutions that disappeared with Mavericks are here again and working fine including 1920 x 1200. As soon as I disable the second screen feature the resolutions fade away...
    I just downloaded a command line tool for switching the resolution manually. This works until the machine is rebooted...
    Any tips / hints?

  • Dynadock WUXGA monitor resolution

    I have a SAMSUNG 730U3E laptop connected to the Toshiba Dynadock U3.0 and have several hardware items connected to the dynadock like network cable, wireless mouse and keayboard and BenQ 24" WUXGA monitor.
    I haven't updated my drivers since January 2014 which means i was on the v7.4.51587.0 (aka v7.5 M0) before i went to ugrade to the latest drivers. When i upgraded to the latest avaliable driver v7.7.59540.0 (aka v7.7M3) i noticed my monitor is forced into HD1080 resolution instead of the WUXGA. What's more, i didn't notice any WUXGA resolution avaliable for the monitor in either Windows 8.1 (64 bit) Control Panel options nor in the dynadock U3.0 options menu.
    I've tried with various (not all) v7.7 and v7.6 drivers. Every one i've tried missed the WUXGA resolution. Did the dynadock drop support for the WUXGA resolution?
    Is there any way how to force the WUXGA resoultion on the new dynadock drivers?
    I've currently reverted back to the v7.4 drivers which are mostly stable (with minor issues when i unplug my laptop from the dynadock which usually requires a restart to fix the resolution issue when i plug it back to the dock).

    Hi, James -
    Re the monitor resolution, try throwing away the files Display Preferences and Monitor Preferences (the latter is in a folder by the same name). Then restart, and redo any settings necessary in the Monitors control panel.
    Make sure the correct profile is selected for your monitor. That selection is made in the Monitors control panel, by clicking the Color button.
    Re the sleep function, what is the exact message given?
    Are you using the automatic sleep functions in the Energy Saver control panel? Or, are you using the Sleep item in the Special menu or the Control Strip?

  • U110 How to Retain External Monitor Resolution

    I'm trying to help someone with an IdeaPad U110 and an external monitor.  The Lenovo allows me to login with an external keyboard and monitor but as soon as it boots Windows, the external monitor goes dark and I have to choose FnF3 each time to re-enable the external monitor and then reset the resolution to 1680 X 1050.  Isn't there a way to get the Lenovo to retain these settings so I don't have to do this each time I boot it up?  THANKS!!

    Hi JLNH,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Please try these steps.
    1 – Click the Start button.
    2 – Click Control Panel.
    3 – Click Appearance and Personalization.
    4 – Click Adjust screen resolution.
    Now once you have the resolution page
    1 Select your exrernal monitor
    2 Set the display type to duplicate
    3 Place a check
    Restart the computer and check if it remains on.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers!
     

  • Why is my user interface monitor resolution dependent?

    The user interface I created with Labview is screen resolution dependent. That means I built a user interface application exe on my computer. But when I run the exe on another computer with lower resolution, the application window was enlarged and some of the controls were cut off. I have had the problem all the time and it bacame a famous issue in our engineering group . By the way, I didn't check any box in the VI Property\Window Size window. Can you help me to fix this problem?

    I use Labview 7.1.1 and had this issue, the fix is under VI Options.. goto Window Size and check "Maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions", there is also a check box for "Scale all objects on panel as the window resizes".
    Give these a try they should work for you.

  • MacBook Pro 15 2.4Ghz External Monitor Resolution

    I presumed, perhaps to my demise, that this machine would control an external monitor of high resolution - like 1680 or 1920 or perhaps even 2560 pixels...can it do so and if it can, what am I missing because I only see control up to 1440 in Mac OSX. I haven't installed VISTA yet but was contemplating on doing so for gaming - but I hear max res is only 1024 or so???

    In the Displays System Preference ensure that Display Mirroring is turned off. When it's off you should now get a Displays window on each display to independently set resolution.

  • My Mac mini no longer detects my monitor resolution

    My Mac Mini has stopped being able to detect the resolution of my monitor, which is a 1680x1050 Acer widescreen.  1680x1050 is also no longer a choice of resolutions under 'Displays' in 'System Preferences' so I cannot select my monitor resolution manually.  I suspect that there is a bug somewhere in a recent update which has broken support for my monitor.  Is there an official channel by which I can report this bug?  Has it been reported already?  Is there an ETA on a fix?  This renders my Mac more or less unusable.

    It's unlikely that the upgrades had anything to do with the problem, slim superdrives are just not all that reliable.
    You might try a few tricks before taking it in for service or springing for a Mac compatable external DVD drive.
    1. Reset the SMC > Resetting the System Management Controller
    2. Reset the PRAM > Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

  • Est. external monitor resolution

    I am trying to set up a samsung syncmaster 191Tplus as an external monitor on my macbook from early 2008 running 10.6.8. When I plug it in, both screens flash (not just a flicker) as shown in this youtube video posted by someone else, but my problem is the same
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Yz-Em2GU4.
    I am using the mini-DVI to VGA adaptor. The resolution of the samsung is 1280x1024, which is not listed in my choice of display resolutions. Is this the cause? What can I do? I can't access settings to change anything after the monitor is connected, and I can't find settings for the external monitor before it is connected. Would using SwitchResX work to create a monitor resolution preset before plugging in the second monitor?

    OK, here is something to try. Go into System Preferences and select Displays. In the window that opens will be a checkbox for "Show displays in menu bar." Put a checkmark there and make it active. There should now be a little icon of an Apple display on the right side of the menu bar at the top of the screen. If you click on it, it will drop down and give you a short cut to different resolutions. There should be a checkmark next to the currently active resolution. Is it set to 1440 x 900? If not, set it there.
    If you are still getting that message from the monitor, well, I don't think the Mac is lying about sending 1440 x 900. If the screen doesn't look right to you, try using the Auto Adjustment feature on your Viewsonic monitor. It could just be that the image needs adjusting.

  • Mac mini monitor resolution

    Hello,
    I bought my mac mini today ( 2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 - Intel Iris Graphics - OS X Yosemite ) I connected using the DisplayPort DVI cable to my Viewsonic vx992 monitor. I have been using this monitor for my Windows XP which used to give me 1280x1024 resolution.
    When I connect the new Mac to my screen is work but I with poor monitor resolution .. It's 1280x1024 but poor not clear
    I'v been used this monitor with Windows with the same resolution and the monitor resolution was excellent with Windows.
    I connected the Mac with Samsung Smart TV via HD cable .. The monitor resolution is excellent
    This is the converter that I used:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KB0EGC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF 8&psc=1
    Now, I'm conflict .. Is the problem with the convert that I'v been used or from the monitor ??

    Hi IIIaass
    I don't know if the screenshot will showing you the noise that I talk about ,, there is a little noise in the text for example .. I work for while on my monitor and I know the resolution quality and the clarity that should be,, and I don't want to buy new monitor then I discovered that the problem was from the Adapter.
    Thanks again .. and please tell me what's the best HDMI converter to DVI if you know about it.

    But I am getting this alert from SCOM and SCOM has no information about the alert for me to find out what to do - thought that was the point of SCOM to let you know of problems and how to resolve them. :)
    The alert is coming from the Error Count Monitor that is part of the Hyper-V Management Pack Extensions (v 4.0.0.0)
    I have tried looking in the Event Logs on the Host and there doesn't seem to be any storage related errors there. I am trying to establish if this is a false positive, why it is happening and if it is safe to override and ignore.
    There is nothing on the Product Knowledge tab and nothing on the Alert Context other than what I have already mentioned (see below).
    Thanks for responding.

  • Changing monitor resolution with proper aspect ratio

    My project size is 800x600 and I wanted to provide an option to the user to change their monitor resolution at 800x600 by clicking on button. I have also planned to do it by using buddy api xtra, and already tested it. The problem is, when I am doing this on a PC with panoramic monitor (native resolution 1920x1080), it got stretched. I know it's very natural (as the aspect ratio has changed ) and I can get it in shape by squeeze the width using 'draw.rect'.
    I noticed, there are some PCs with advanced display card that don't even get stretched, but shows the 800x600 resolution in proper aspect ratio by keeping the extra space black both sides. And I don't need to write any further codes (squeeze the width using 'draw.rect') to keep it in shape.
    The real problem starts here, I can't able to filter the above situations by any logical means. I wanted to write codes only for the PCs that get stretched, but I didn't able to find any support from Director to determine which type of display card has been attached. I need to know whether it will get stretched, or the display card can able to manage the aspect ratio.
    Any one have any solution in this matter?
    Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any more info.

    You don't need an xtra to change the resolutions - but you do have to work a few things - I tend to use flash text because it scales better.
