Well you could do it like this of course: http://screencast.com/t/ei04L5zm In that example you can add any LabVIEW UI object to the front panel during run time and link data to those objects.

National Instruments has created a GitHub repository to community source G libraries. This move is intended to be a test of a mechanism to enable customers to create customizations of NI source code and share those customizations with each other and for NI to be able to adopt some of those customizations into its core products to benefit the entire LabVIEW community. We are beginning with just three libraries: The Actor Framework, a library in vi.lib since LV 2012 The NI-GOOP Development Suite, a free toolkit add-on for improving LabVIEW class development The AQ Character Lineator, a library not yet in vi.lib to support serialization/deserialization of LabVIEW classes If this experience working with the community proves fruitful, NI may expand the number of our APIs that are part of this sharing. For more information, including instructions on how to access the GitHub repository, please visit this community: https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/community-source-of-ni-code For details of how to get access to the GitHub repository and the license agreement covering this project, please visit here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-37195 I want to make a personal comment on this new development: Opening up LabVIEW to more community participation is something I and a few others have worked on for many years. This is a major advance in that quest. We know that requiring a license agreement for participation is not a typical "open source" arrangement, but this is the best idea we have found to balance the desire of our users to improve LabVIEW while acknowledging that LabVIEW is for-profit software that gets used in sensitive industries. If you have particular objections to the license agreement, please open a discussion thread in the community linked above so we can discuss them. We believe most users will find this arrangement acceptable, but not everyone. I hope, though, that this can be a successful venture, and perhaps will serve as a first step toward more.
