The problem with the CVI standard controls is that once a feature is missing, it's VERY difficult to add for a normal user. What cruel hacks I had to implement to circumvent some limitation (like dynamically overlaying canvas controls over a scrollable table to simulate joined cells) is truly beyond description. Same with graphs controls (try implementing some with five distinct Y axes, fun for the whole family!). I always found you guys to be pretty responsive when it comes to feature requests, but some features are a) so application specific that I don't even dare requesting them and b) even if you'd agree to implement them, it takes about two to three years until they are released and the necessary runtime is deployed worldwide in my company.
So, please consider opening the source code of some of the more complex UI controls (like the table and graph controls), at the very least to some interested users like me (AFAIK my company even has a standing NDA agreement with NI). I already considered doing them from scratch, but then I noticed that I'd even have to re-invent the scroll bars that come with them! This was never a problem with any other platform I had used in the past (like Delphi), because they always came with full source code to the whole library.
