Create control dynamically

[DavidLee]

Hello ,


I am studying LV 8.0. The question is that need to dynamically create a control such as a graph , a numeric control on the front panel, and then drag or zoom it , I know in cvi there is a NewControl() can do this , but if LV could realize the behavior ?

Hi.

I would say there is no way to do this.

BUT    and there is always a but.

Way one:

Put all the controls you may need on the front panel and change the visibility.

Way two:

make a VI with the requested instrument type in it.

Copy it with another name at runtime.

Load the new (cloned) VI. Reference it and display it in a subwindow on your

frontpanel.

Remark:

DONT do this in a embedded enviorment with flash discs.

With kind regards
