Bulk Creation of Controls and Indicators

[Darren]

Here is a VI I wrote that will create multiple controls/indicators for diagram objects at once.  Check out my blog entry about it for more info.

Darren,

I once created a few VI's to make dynamic creation of control and indicators
possible. Since you are posting a lot of stuff with scripting in it, is it
alright if we do this too?

Regards,

Wiebe.

Darren,

Could you post an 8.5 version?  Thanks.

... looking at the hierachy makes it look like back saving it to LV 8.2 is not a possiblity but if I'm wrong I'd like to have that for my 8.2 machine as well.

Thank you Darren!

It would also be nice if we could get a straight answer on scripting in general. See here, here, and here.

Here is a version of the tool saved in LabVIEW 8.0.

Scripting is currently an internal-only feature, which is why any VIs that NI ships (or posts to the forums) that contain scripting are password-protected.  We're currently investigating ways to make the feature more accessible.

Thanks for the clarification, Darren.

Still, if you are one of the rare companies that received a scripting
license, or if you make something in LV7.1 and import it in 8.x, or when you
make use of OpenG tools, or a LV7.1 tool that enables yuo to build scripting
nodes, or whatever..

Can we post code like that here? I mean, I know we can, but what is NI's
standpoint on that?

Scripting opens so many possiblilities. Some FAQ's can be solved easilly
with a scripting wrapper, like how to do dynamic control and indicators. At
the moment, I have some very nice tools, but can't use them in any
production code, or post them here...

Regards,

Wiebe.
