I'm wondering if there's a way to hook into VI server and register for notification any time a front panel is loaded. Not a specific front panel, but any in the owning application instance. I'm thinking of a VI that can run in the background and inspect each front panel that gets loaded to operate on it. Immediate use cases of interest are to apply automated interface scaling and language translation at run-time. I'm brainstorming ideas trying to find something that scales better than having to modify each and every user interface VI in an existing code base to make calls into a new API that is created.

Do you remember the "Callbacks" demo that I once posted? You can hook the application or VIs events (eg VI Activation) by injecting your own event into the VI externally. I don't recall there being an event for front panel open, but the VI Activation should fire and you can use the callback to filter for specific criteria (panel visible etc)
