Front Panel:Run-Time Position:Get Position Method
Short Name: FP.Run-Time Pos.Get
Installed With: Base Package
Class: VI Methods
Returns the position of the run-time window.
For single-pane front panels, minimum size refers to the content area of that pane, not including the scroll bars. For multi-pane front panels, minimum size refers to the entire front panel, including any visible scroll bars.
Parameters
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Type | No | Returns whether the front panel is unchanged, centered, maximized, minimized, or has a custom setting. |
| Position | No | A cluster of top and left pairs that indicate the front panel window position. |
| Size | No | Indicates the size of the window when centered. LabVIEW returns an error if you set the width or height to 0 or set the width or height less than the minimum window size. |
| Monitor | No | Specifies the monitor on which the front panel window appears, if you have multiple monitors. The value 0 is the primary monitor and is the default value. If you specify a value other than 0, the VI runs on that monitor. If you specify a monitor number greater than the number of monitors on the system, or if you specify a negative number, LabVIEW returns an error. The monitor number corresponds to the video card you plug the monitor in to. |
| Use Current Position | No | Returns the value of the Use Current Position checkbox in the Window Run-Time Position dialog box. |
| Use Current Size | No | Returns the value of the Use Current Size checkbox in the Window Run-Time Position dialog box. |
