Add or remove a Control/indicator on Front Panel when it is running?

[RogerLu]

I don't know whether I am asking a stupid question or not? What I want do is to add or remove a Control/Indicator on Front Panel when it is running.

For example, if the user press an ADD button, it can generate another button or numeric indicator or anything. If user press an REMOVE button, it can delete any control or indicator on the front panel.

If LabVIEW cannot do this, are there any good ways to realize this idea?

This request sounds familiar.

Quoting myself from this thread.

"Controls on the fly" (artwork courtisy of Christian Altenbach) is something I have done on more than one app.

Also check out the Picture control thread for more links and idea.

The easy method is to pre-create and hide.

The amount of code that goes into supporting functional controls is enormous (been ther done that)

So review that thread and its links and try to go with the the least demanding approach. If all else fails the Picture control will let you make it look like you have dynamic FP objects.
