Flatline Controls
By drjdpowell
A set of custom controls, following the trend of a more flat UI design. Heavily influenced by Google’s Material Design, though constrained by what can be done with available tools and options in LabVIEW. Uses icons from Google Material Design.
— Buttons based on the system booleans (with hover effects). Icons can be added as decals (such as from materialdesignicons.com)
— Matched sets of controls for numeric/string/enum/etc., based on Silver controls, but swapping out all ‘chrome’ for simple boxes and lines.
— flattened versions of switches/sliders/arrays/graphs etc.

55 easily distinguishable color.vi
By Benoit
This is the only way I found how to have a bunch of color that are unique and easily distinguishable. The maximum I saw in the web was about 26. This one offer 55 of them without gray tone. You can modify this VI to support gray tone as well and goes up to 60 colors.

LCD1.ctl, LCD2.ctl, LCD3.ctl
By tylertroy
Here are a couple of controls that simulate an LCD numerical display. You will need to install the fonts for them to work as pictured. You can achieve the same things with which ever font you like but it really only works with mono-spaced fonts.
You can customize each control in the "Advanced" right click menu of the control to set the precision you need or to modify the font size. Note that you can't change the font size without customizing the "background" label font too. Accessing and modifying each component is most easily achieved by changing the z-order of the components using the Ctrl-K, Ctrl+J shortcuts while in tweezer mode

LCD panel.ctl, LCD panel.vi
By tylertroy
I've been playing around with making some controls that mimic popular electronic components and here is one of them. It's a basic 10 x 2 character LCD panel. You can play with the colors to create a variety looks. You could also imagine modifications to create animated LCD panels. Feel free to incorporate into what ever you're creating.

Shortcut Menu from Cluster
By drjdpowell
A pair of subVIs for connecting a cluster of enums and booleans to a set of options in a menu (either the right-click shortcut menu on control or the VI menu bar). Adding new menu options requires only dropping a new boolean or enum in the cluster.
See original conversation here.
I use this heavily in User Interfaces, with display options being accessed via the shortcut menus of graphs, tables, and listboxes, rather than being independent controls on the Front Panel.
Relies on the OpenG LabVIEW Data Library.

OpenG Array Library >= 4.1.1.14

Description:
This package contains a class to quickly create controls programmatically based on templates.
Instructions:
After installing package with VIPM, refresh palettes if VIPM is not set to refresh automatically.
Use palettes.
On LabVIEW restart, a Tools Menu shortcut gives access to a Control Generator GUI (Tools >> UI Tools >> Control Generator)
Known Issues:
The control creator provided under "Tools" menu is not yet complete:
- It doesn't batch process controls yet.
- The "pure white" (xFFFFFF) is drawn as black (use FEFEFE instead... that's close, and I really don't know why!)
Acknowledgements:
Wojciech Golebiowski for his BitMan library (Bitmap Manipulation).
History:
v1.4.0: Removed a self-conflicting dependency on new installation
v1.3.0: Renamed package and moved templates to vi.lib to remove the need to rely on system files (outside of LabVIEW folder structure).
Upgraded source code to 2012. Older versions not supported anymore.
Changed the namespacing and added an incompatibility with previous versions of this package.
Integrated into the palette of UI Tools (base package on LVTN 1.3.0.59+)
Fixed issue with scaling factor for True decal button
v1.2.0: Migrated to VIP file type (from OGP)
v1.1.0: Added functionality for creating different decals for True and false states.
This release is untested with the rest of the package.
It is strictly aimed at providing a temporary solution to creating custom controls with different decals for True and False states.
The package works as standalone, but might introduce some bugs in the parent package "UI Tools".
Do no install unless you absolutely need the new functionality right away.
Keep the latest UI Tools Addon Control Class package at hand to fall back in case it breaks functionality.
v1.0.15: Added "Save to previous version"
Added "Drop on Front Panel" and tested to work in projects or outside projects.
Added some configuration file entries and more error checking.
v1.0.14: Initial release of the code. (8.6)

JKI Progress Bar Dialog
Copyright © 2006, James Kring, Inc.
All rights reserved.
Author:
Michael Aivaliotis
Instructions:
This code has been tested to run under LabVIEW 7.1.1. It will probably work on any newer versions but it has not been tested. Just unzip the code into any folder of your chosing and open the example called, JKI PBD Example.vi. This shows a typical use case where you want to pop-up a non-blocking dialog within a process loop and display a message and updated text from a parallel running task. In addition, you can pass a max value and updated progress value and the dialog will automatically present a percentage complete progress bar.
Features:
- Contains an abort button on the dialog that can assist in aborting a running process.
- You only need to pass the total number of tasks\items and the dialog automatically calculates percent complete.
- Can specify a limited preset amount of progress images via the "animation" selector
- Can update the status messages and progress in real-time after the dialog has been launched.
- Setting an animation value of 0 disables animation and displays only text.
- Handles being built into an application
- The dialog is not modal when run in the development environment however it becomes modal when built into an executable.

Toolbar Class
By hooovahh
Toolbar Class
Copyright © 2014, Brian Hoover (hooovahh)
Author:
Brian Hoover (hooovahh)
Environment Support:
LabVIEW 2011 and up
Windows only (likely XP and newer) due to .NET dependency
Description:
This is a toolbar class designed to make toolbars in the UI, which appear more like normal toolbars seen in Windows.
The idea for this came about because I wanted a way to make a simple toolbar, but didn't want to have to make all the button states for mouse not over, mouse over, mouse down. I just wanted to provide one PNG file for a button, and have it take care of how the button should look.
I also wanted a way to handle when there are more buttons than there is room for horizontally. When this happens I wanted a More Options button to appear which when clicked gives a vertical list of the remaining buttons, and a veritcial scrollbar if there are too many buttons to show vertically.
I also wanted support for basic veritcal and horizontal separators.
This toolbar class can do all these things, and all that is needed is to provide the buttons as PNG files with alpha layers. other file types like JPG, and BMP are supported but won't look as good just because buttons don't need to be a rectangle and can have soft edges. The Add Icon(s).vi is a polymorphic and also can add images from Image Data, or the native LabVEW picture data type. But these image types have the same issue mentioned with JPG and BMP that they don't support alpha layers.
Dependencies:
This relies on the following OpenG packages, a VIPC is included.
OpenG Error Library-4.2.0.23
OpenG Application Control Library-4.1.0.7
OpenG File Library-4.0.1.22
OpenG String Library-4.1.0.12
OpenG Array Library-4.1.1.14
OpenG LabVIEW Data Library-4.2.0.21
Installation and instructions:
At the moment this is not distributed as a package but just a zip with the required files in it. Install the OpenG packages required or install the Required Packages.vipc. Then run the Example Toolbar under the Example folder. This uses images from within the Example Images folder and must be in the same directory as the Example Toolbar.vi. There is also a Toolbar Tree.vi which shows the public functions as they could appear on the palette.
