LabVIEW 2019 introduces new set and map controls and indicators, additional visual styles, and more enhancements for the front panel.

Set and Map Controls and Indicators

The Array, Matrix & Cluster palette is renamed Data Containers. The palette now includes the new map and set controls and indicators.

More Controls and Indicators in NXG Style

LabVIEW 2019 includes additional controls and indicators on the NXG Style palette for you to easily create numeric, Boolean, container, and I/O name controls and indicators with the same visual style as LabVIEW NXG.

Viewing Run-Time Front Panel Bounds in Edit Mode

This new feature originated from a suggestion on the NI Idea Exchange discussion forums. You can configure a VI to remember the run-time front panel size and scroll position. When the VI is in edit mode, LabVIEW reflects the settings as a rectangular border on the front panel. When the VI is running, the rectangular border vanishes. In the following figure, the rectangular border indicates the position and size of the visible portion of the front panel when the VI runs.



Refer to the Viewing Run-Time Front Panel Bounds in Edit Mode topic for instructions about how to view run-time front panel bounds.

Note LabVIEW shows run-time front panel bounds for single-pane front panels only.
