In the Application Builder on the VI Settings tab, highlight your top level VI and click the 'Edit Build Settings' button. The last selection in this dialog will let you force the front panel to full screen when it's opened.
You can also set this property in the VI Properties. In VI Properties, go to the Window Size category and you'll see a checkbox to size the front panel to the screen size. This will This will force the front panel to full screen no matter how it was saved. You can also do it programmatically using property nodes. There's a VI property called State that will let you minimize, maximize, hide, restore and close the front panel. Ed -------------------------------------------------------- Edwin O.

In the VI form, the vi will open in the maximized state if it was saved in the maximized state. However when the same vi is converted to an exe, its behavior changes. Whenever the exe is started it is not maximized. The application must be stopped, the max button clicked then restarted. If the application is closed then the same procedure must be repeated the next time it is run. Without being maximized I lose an information window at the bottom of the screen I have enabled all options on the Properties-Window size before the vi becomes an exe. This does not put the application into the maximized state. I have just migrated from LV 5.1 to 7.1. This was not a problem in 5.1. Does anyone have a solution? Hopefully something can be set in the ini file for the application. There seems to be very little info on LabVIEW/yourapplication.ini. Thanks Tom Radford
