Deleting Objects

To delete a front panel object, other than a splitter bar, use the Positioning tool to select the object and take one of the following actions:

  • Select Edit»Cut.
  • Press the <Backspace> key.
  • Press the <Delete> key.
Note Deleting a structure in this way also deletes its contents. You can remove a structure without deleting its contents.

You can remove a splitter bar with adjoining splitters or you can remove its entire splitter hierarchy. Complete the following steps to delete a splitter bar from the front panel.

  1. Right-click the splitter bar.
  2. Select Remove with Adjoining Splitters or Remove Entire Splitter Hierarchy from the shortcut menu.

If the splitter bar you select is not a parent splitter bar, LabVIEW dims the Remove Entire Splitter Hierarchy option on the shortcut menu.
