Two questions about this: 1. Does something like this already exist? 2. Is this something that could be useful? Every once in a while I need dynamic UI components that can be generated at runtime. One nice thing to use for this is a picture control; however it doesn't lend itself as well to keeping other pieces of function such as mouse click events and such. I put together a mini library of UI functions for this that has the ability to be extended. The UI can be generated dynamically at runtime and be any picture thing that you can draw. Using Standard layout techniques that you might find in other GUI libraries. The hierarchy generation can always be simplified by using some type of templating string.

Looks Cool Maybe we should make a public framework for this and a big open source library of UI components. FYI you don't need to wire an empty class constant to the create methods 🙂

I am not sure I understand the reasoning. The DMC image display control is just a cosmetic modification of the original control. It doesn't change anything to the underlying coding. It seems to become a consensus that checking that box sounded like a good idea, but turned out to be a very bad one in some cases. I have stopped checking it when releasing a standalone app, as I don't have the bandwidth for testing all corner cases. Again, as long as nobody reports the issue with NI, nothing is going to be done about it. I won't because of the above sentence, but someone making his or her living from products developed with these tools might want to send a wake up message to NI. You can't engineer ambitiously if you dread every single checkbox in the application builder.
