Which controls? And in what way? Should they expand horizontally, vertically, or both, or should checkboxes be provided to control which direction to go? Should the control/indicator shove other controls/indicators aside? Should it cover other controls/indicators? What if it covers an "Exit" button on the front panel and you have no way to stop a program?
We use a flowing string indicator as an indicator like a tipstrip in an array of signals. These indicator is moving according to the mouse. All names of the array elements are diffent and the lenght of this indicator should be adaptable. The width of the letters is different - so it is difficult to set the right attribute "width".
