you will find a set of picture control examples. In post # 4 I give a link to the "Obfuse code" thread where in post #52

I posted an example that can be used to create an arbitrary number of controls and postition them such that they are performing a random walk.

This example gives you most of what you need to implement virtual controls in LV.

Hi,

one more comment:
when you don't need switches to represent the booleans you can still go with numeric indicators!
Just switch the representation to 'binary' and set the number of digits with a property node...

When you only need to display values you can also use string indicators. Format your values using 'Format to string' and a corresponding format string like '%02b %02d %02b'  (for 2 bits, integer from 0-15, 2 bits).
