GObject Properties Table

Property ID	Short Name (English)	Description	R/W	RTE
632A80C	BasicObjectFlags		R/W
632A803	Bounds	Maximum bounding area of the object specified in terms of width and height in pixels. For a front panel object, this property returns the dimensions of the rectangle enclosing all the visible object components, such as the control, caption, label, graph legends, and so on. You cannot use this property to change the size of an object. To change the size of an object programmatically, use more specific properties such as Text Width or Plot Area:Size.	R	X
632A805	Area Height	Height of the maximum bounding area of the object in pixels. This property is an element of the Bounds property.	R	X
632A804	Area Width	Width of the maximum bounding area of the object in pixels. This property is an element of the Bounds property.	R	X

632A806	Grouped		R	X
632A80D	IsWizardLocked		R	X
632A807	Locked		R	X
632A80B	MasterRect	Returns the coordinates of all the sides of the object excluding labels, captions, and other visible parts connected to the object.	R	X
632A800	Position	Position of the top left corner of the bounding rectangle of the object on the front panel window in terms of left and top coordinates. The bounding rectangle of the object includes all visible parts of the object. For example, if the object label is visible and you wire the top coordinate to this property, LabVIEW positions the top of the label at the coordinate you wired. If the object label is not visible, LabVIEW positions the top of the remaining visible parts of the object at the coordinate you wired. Note LabVIEW sets the origin for this property when you create a VI. When you scroll the owning pane, the origin does not change but instead scrolls with the owning pane. If you do not move the object, this property returns the same coordinates for the object regardless of whether you scroll the owning pane. Use the Origin property with this property to calculate the current position of an object in relation to the owning pane. For most front panel objects, this property returns the position of the object relative to the origin of the owning pane. For panes, this property returns the position of the pane relative to the global panel coordinate system. If you attempt to reposition an object that is grouped with other objects, LabVIEW repositions only the object you specify, not the whole group.	R/W	X
632A801	Left	Position of the left corner of the bounding rectangle of the object on the front panel window. This property is an element of the Position property. Note For most front panel objects, this property returns the position of the object relative to the origin of the owning pane. For panes, this property returns the position of the pane relative to the global panel coordinate system.	R/W	X
632A802	Top	Position of the top corner of the bounding rectangle of the object on the front panel window. This property is an element of the Position property. Note For most front panel objects, this property returns the position of the object relative to the origin of the owning pane. For panes, this property returns the position of the pane relative to the global panel coordinate system.	R/W	X

632A810	ResizeInfoResizeVert		R	X
632A812	IncludeInResize		R	X
632A811	ResizeDialogName		R	X
632A809	Selected	Returns TRUE if the GObject is selected.	R/W	X
632A80A	TotalRect	Returns the coordinates of all sides of the entire object including labels, captions, and other visible parts connected to the object.	R	X
632A813	UID	Returns the unique identifier (UID) for the object. UIDs are identifiers for LabVIEW objects and are always unique within the same VI. Inspect the UID of an object to verify that it is the exact object that you want to manipulate. A UID is always associated with the same object, even after you save the VI. However, if you delete an object, LabVIEW might assign the UID for that deleted object to a different object in the future. To detect this situation and ensure each UID refers to the object that you expect, check the Class Name property or Label property of the object in addition to the UID.	R	X

Method ID	Short Name (English)	Description	RTE
632A407	GetObjHelp	Returns the help information for the object.	X
632A405	Invalidate		X
632A404	Launch Config
632A400	Move	Moves the object to the specified position. Note If you attempt to move an object to the owning VI of another object, LabVIEW makes a copy of the object instead of moving the object.
632A401	ObjHighlight	Given a Gobject Reference, this method scrolls to and highlights the object.	X
632A402	Replace	Replaces the current object with a new object and returns a reference to the new object. Use only one of the following inputs to specify the new object: Style, Path, or Palette String.
632A403	Replace No Attrib	Replaces the current object with a new object and returns a reference to the new object. Use only one of the following inputs to specify the new object: Style, Path, or Palette String. This method does not maintain any size or color attributes of the object you replace.
