Setting window positions at startup of Labview

Is there a way to set the window positions of the front pane and block diagrams when I start a new VI or when I look at an example (not at runtime of VI)?

Hi JPDel,
yes it's possible with VI Server functions.
There are also some std vi's which will be called in defined situations. I don't know the link, but i know there exists a document written by Jim Kring about it.
Hope it helps.

How can I override the startup window position?

Can I override a compiled labview 7 app with ini settings, command line options, via a registry edit, or other option?
Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike
Besides saving the vi in a position, you also have a property node to determine window position at startup app.
Values can be fix, calculated from monitor specs, etc.
See attached doc.
Hope it helps

Can I set the position of the new mail window?

Each time I compose a new message, the new message window seems to appear at a different place, usually obscuring the main window. I would like to have it always appear to the side of the main window. Can I set this, perhaps in the property list?

Perhaps something is corrupt that is causing bad behavior for some users and so my comments are unhelpful, but here's some more data to add to this discussion: My Mail.app behaves as George Coghill described above, subsequent message windows open where the previous window was open.
For example- Close all Mail.app windows so that only the main "Message Viewer" window is open (basically, don't have any emails that you're in the middle of drafting open). Open a new message, adjust the position as you wish, then close it. When you open another new message, does it have the same position as the one you just adjusted? It should.
However, for me, sometimes it would be off by a few pixels as Thomas A Reed described above. I realized that this was because I had another compose window open in the background. So as you troubleshoot, make sure no other compose windows are open, to remove one complication and help isolate the issue.
Side note: in cases where the original window's height fully extended across the display, the new window would be shifted over to the right only, but not down at all as some apps do (like Mac Word, annoyingly). Another note: if you maximize the original window, subsequent windows also open maximized and unshifted.
A corollary to the paragraph immediately above is that if you open say 3 new windows, the second one will be shifted and the third one will be even more shifted. Let's say you send all 3, and now open a new window, it has the position of the 3rd window. Annoying. Yes, it would be nice if it always opened new windows in the exact same position, but Apple likely won't do this since people will get confused and think they lost the window if it doesn't do the shifting. I guess the take-away is draft one message at a time or maximize your composition windows, otherwise it's going to move :/
A band-aid solution: When a window isn't positioned how you like it, a quick/simple way to reposition it is with apps like Moom (my favorite), Cinch, Divvy, SizeUp, etc. While I'm at it I should mention RightZoom, which makes the green zoom button behave like the Windows maximize button, and Cordless Dog Stay, which is great if you connect/disconnect your laptop to a screen causing the window positions to always get disturbed between displays.

Set windows as startup, now impossible to boot in leopard

Dear all,
This morning i made a windows partition and tried to install windows xp in bootcamp. I had a windows partition in the past, but i needed more hard drive space so i created a new one. I thought i knew what to expect...
I just did what it said, created the partition and inserted the XP disc and it started to install. During the installation, I selected the BOOTCAMP partition and the option to not make any changes to the format. Then the computer restarted, but i got a black screen saying disk error, press any key to restart.
I was unable to find the any key, and i restarted a couple times by pressing the button at the back. Finally, I managed to eject the CD by holding the mouse button on startup and it booted in leopard again.
Then,i made a stupid mistake.
I set windows in bootcamp as my default startup disc, assuming i would be able to boot leopard at any time by pressing the option key.
But now, not only does my option-key not work and can i not reboot in leopard, I still get the disc error message from bootcamp and hance my windows XP isn't working either..
So now I'm stuck with a very useless iMac, being unable to boot in either OS.
Hopefully someone can help me with this... it would be immensely appreciated!!

Tibo86,
Have you tried putting your Leopard disk in and holding down the C key on the keyboard and then in the utilities you can select a start up disk?

Window Position & Prefs "Gone"

Every time I start up or restart, any window position, size, view etc info is gone, and I get a view very different than what I had set. I have tried to delete the Finder plist, but it did not help. I did notice something extremely weird as well.
I noticed that the Finder plist is actually deleting itself about every 30 - 60 seconds when I open the ~user Library prefs, and cannot find anything that might be causing this. Repairing permissions, running utilities such as DiskWarrior etc have not helped. This condition actually exists identically on two Macs I am using. The only thing in common is that I ran an updater for Missing Sync for BlackBerry from Mark/Space Software, and took note of the condition being created on the second Mac immediately after doing this update.
I don't really want to do a full reinstall of the System, as I suspect I will still end up with this "condition" after reinstalling my working applications.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A bit of troubleshooting .....
On a full restart, any windows left open will retain their position, view, etc - but closed windows "forget" when reopened.
During the safe boots, files were sent to the Trash, which are as follows:
In a folder called 501.245359984
and a folder called 501.245361007
annex_aux
annex.db
filetoken.db
FondResourceCache (only in the first folder above)
fonts.db
Local.fcache
qdfams.db
System.fcache
User.fcache
My startup items under my account are
iTunesHelper
Microsoft AU Daemon
iKey
MicrosoftMouseHelper
MicrosoftKeyboardHelper
Dashboard KickStart
EEventManager
iCalAlarmScheduler
textsoapHelper
Epson Scanner Monitor
All of these items were already in place - for a long time - before this problem started.
I cannot find /private in order to locate /private/var/run/StartupItems
Nothing unusual (at least that I can see) in either of the other two locations.

Find names of all open windows including other applications besides LabView VIs

Hi All, I have researched this subject, i.e., to find names of all open windows including other applications besides LabView VIs, but found no solution. Could someone suggest a solution to this? Thanks.

Hi,
Certainly! The Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW includes set of LabVIEW libraries (llb) with VIs that make calls to the Windows Application Programming Interface (API) for managing and controlling windows (minimize, maximize, move, resize, rename, close, and so on) including task list with names of windows application running. The Readme.doc contains information on running these VIs.
Attached below is a zipped file with a VI that list the names of all opened windows.

I want to get and set windows system time through lab view

Hi
I want to get and set windows system time with the help of lab view 8.5.
please help me out.

You can use the call library function node. Once you drop it on your block diagram double click it and you will be able to select the dllyou want to use. Choose kernel32.dll and you will see methods listed called getsystemtime and setsystemtime. Use those

After deleting Win at partition 3, there is still Windows option at startup

I bought an SSD, and hooked it with my old hdd to my system. There was a Mac and Win partition in my older drive. I erased system files, but couldn't formatted it because it has important info.
Now at startup, i managed to erase second Mac option and second Recovery option, but there is still a second Windows option, which linked to nothing.
My question is, how can i delete that obsolete option at startup? Is there anyway i can manually arrange that screen?

I'm talking about the screen when starting up the computer and pressing alt button. there has to be 3 options, mac, windows and recovery. instead there is 4th setting named windows, if i hit it, black screen and a blinking cursor appears and nothing happens. because i uninstalled that windows, but instead of formatting that partition, i just deleted windows files, because i have important info in that drive.
now, i want to delete that obsolete windows option at startup menu.

Set file position error

Hi,
I am using LabVIEW 2009 SP1 on Win XP OS system. I am reading and writing data to a text file whose size does not exceed 50 MB. whenever i try to set file position to a value of say 128 bytes from the start of file, the function does not show an error. But when i try to read back the file position using get file position function, the value shows a very high number. I am not able to do a random access read of the file data. Please help.

Hi Yashasvi,
can you post the vi (or vi section) causing the problem?

Window position problem

Hi everyone,
I am having problems with window position.
If my portal is set to english language, there are no problem.
If my portal is set to hebrew language, I have troubles with position of windows. Some windows are moved to left, some are moved to right...and some are moved out of the screen.
Code:
IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo)wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("MyWindow");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow( windowInfo, true);
window.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER);
window.open();
Can someone help ?
Thanks in advance.

David,
   turn down with:
   window.setWindowPosition(XXX,YYY);
Could be usefull, find some CODE that give you MAX_WIDTH and MAX_HEIGHT of client browser and after
window.setWindowPosition(func(MAX_WIDTH),func(MAX_HEIGHT));

Facebook Login Window Position on screen

I am working on a kiosk application that must be ADA compliant. Since the screen is vertical and designed for a standing adult, to be ADA comliant, there must be a mode where the UI is all on the lower portion of the screen. This is simple except that I cannot get the Facebook Login window to display in the lower portion of the screen, it will only appear in the center in a new OS window. The LoginWindow class has two properties of width and height that can be set, but not the position of the window on the screen. Is there a way to set a position for where the Facebook Login window appears on screen?

That sounds like an OS level question rather than an AIR specific question. You may have better luck searching for support on your OS.

Hi Nagamayasi,
This should be related with the different configuration settings of the Video card driver.
Would you please have a share with the Video card inforamtion and the configuration?
You may take a try to set both of the two video cards into the same screen resolution, then check if there would be any difference.

Setting window layout of image

I'm trying to use AS to set the layout of a disk image.
The script I've got takes a previously mounted image, renames a few files, sets icon size and position, sets background image for window and finally the bounds of the window. I can see all this being done and it all looks fine when I eject the image.
However, after opening it again, the window postion hasn't been saved. Everything else OK, just not the window bounds.
Can anyone tell me why this isn't being saved?
I've noticed that if I manually move the window before ejecting the image, then it's position does get saved. But the task itself is part of a larger automated software deployment process (not using AS), which is why I need a none hands-on scriptable solution.
TIA,
Rich

I'm bumping this back up again because I've still not found a workable solution to this. To summarise the question again:
"Is it somehow possible via AS, to set the window appearance of a dmg so that the dmg actually remembers the window position?"
The catch seems to be a bug in OS X which means that dmg doesn't remember the window position, without some sort of UI interaction.
Read several suggestions all based around simulationg a user click but nothing that reliably works.
Can anybody please give me some sort of help? even just to confirm that it's simply not possible would be something. I've already lost so much time on this, it's driving me crazy. I'm soon going to be faced with the task of creating about 200+ dmg's (automated) and I don't particularly want to sit there clicking the growbox every 5 minutes when a new dmg window pops up.
Cheers,
Rich

Is it possible to save window positions?

Okay, been trying to find where I can configure Motion to remember my window positions, but haven't had any luck. For example, if I set the Layers window to be a certain width, I want Motion to remember that until the next time I change it.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Joe.

Only one default layout that you get when you launch. No custom pane adjustmetn setting.
