You can configure splitter bars by right-clicking the splitter bar and selecting from the options.
To configure a splitter bar, right-click the splitter bar and select among the
following shortcut menu options.
- Visible Items: Adds the label for the splitter bar to the front panel. LabVIEW hides the splitter bar label by default.
- Create: Allows you to create a Property Node, VI Server reference, or Invoke Node to configure the splitter bar programmatically.
- Remove Entire Splitter Hierarchy: Removes the splitter bar you select and any splitter bars that are children of the splitter bar in the hierarchy. The objects remain in the same screen position on the front panel. If you select a splitter bar that is not another splitter bar's parent, LabVIEW disables this option.
- Remove with Adjoining Splitters: Removes the splitter bar you select and any splitter bars with ends that touch the selected splitter bar.
- Splitter Sizing: Allows you to control how resizing the window affects panes. By selecting an option in the Splitter Sizing shortcut menu, you can set a pane to remain the same size, or stick, while the other pane grows or shrinks as you resize the windows. You can also choose Splitter Sizes Proportionally to allow both panes to grow or shrink together when you resize the window.
- Locked: Locks the splitter bar in the current position.
- Splitter Style: Allows you to customize the style of the splitter bar.
- Upper Pane/Lower Pane/Left Pane/Right Pane: Allows you to configure the selected pane. When you select a pane, a new shortcut menu opens with options for configuring the selected pane.
You also can use the Splitter properties to configure splitter bars programmatically.
