Event for VI.

Generated when the user sizes the front panel by clicking and dragging the window frame, minimizes or maximizes the front panel, or restores the front panel to its original size from a maximized or minimized state. Use this event when you want to perform computations necessary for resizing front panel objects or when you want to reduce computation and conserve display memory when the user minimizes the front panel. You can use the OldBnds and NewBnds event data field values to determine how the user resized the front panel.

Source	Source of the event. 0 LabVIEW UI 1 ActiveX 2 .NET 25 User Event n other
Type	Type of event that occurred, such as Mouse Down, Value Change, Timeout, and so on.
Time	Value of the millisecond timer when the event occurred.
VIRef	Reference to the VI on which this event occurred.
OldBnds	Returns a cluster of coordinates in pixels that specify the location of the front panel before the user resized the front panel. Coordinates refer to the upper left and lower right position of the front panel.
NewBnds	Returns a cluster of coordinates in pixels that specify the location of the front panel after the user resized the front panel. Coordinates refer to the upper left and lower right position of the front panel.
Act	Returns the front panel action the user performed, such as Minimized, Maximized, or Resized.
PrevState	Returns the previous state of the front panel, such as Standard, Minimized, or Maximized. Standard—The front panel window is open but is not minimized, maximized, or hidden. Minimized—The front panel window is minimized. Maximized—The front panel window is maximized. A state of Standard or Maximized indicates that the front panel window is visible to the user.
