The four elements in the cluster are the top, left, bottom, and right values of the front panel window, which includes the interior region, scroll bars, title bar, menu bar, and toolbar. They are in global screen coordinates, that is, the numbers refer to coordinates within a computer monitor's screen (rather than an open window).
You can set this property only for VIs with open front panels. If you do not want the VI for which you want to set this property to appear to users, use the Hidden state of the Front Panel Window:State Property to hide the front panel of the VI.
When you read this property, LabVIEW returns the window bounds of the VI. If the front panel of the VI is not open, LabVIEW returns the window bounds of the VI in the position it was last saved.
If you load the VI in a subpanel control, this property is read only.
