Programmatically Creating Controls

[Peter T]

I have figured out how to programmatically modify controls, but do not know
how to programmatically create controls. I am using Labview 6i. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Peter

You cannot programmatically create a new LabVIEW control on the front panel
of a VI.

The best you can do is to programmatically open references to templates VIs
and Controls files (*.vit,*.ctt) and let the user interact with them. New
VIs and controls are created
in memory when you open references to templates.

Depending on what you need, you can create an array of buttons and make them appear and disappear from the front panel.
Hope this helps

Peter,

One option is to create the controls but set the visible attribute to false. You can create a property node for each one and set the visible attribute to true programatically, making them appear when you want.
