Hi all, In order to teach myself to use LVOOP -it's about time to start- I've decided to start with a little project that I've had in mind for a long time, I've called it LVOOP VIServer, I hope it doesn't sound too pretentious. The idea is to make a hierarchy of LVOOP classes that matches the LabVIEW Controls class hierachy in order to take advantage of dynamic dispatch. In a way it is related to this LIE Idea : Improve the "cluster to array" primitive For now I've implemented the parent class "Control" and two child classes "Path Control" and "String Control" and a bunch of VIs to read/write position, size, caption text, caption font and font. If anyone is interested in reviewing the code, providing advice or whatever... I've kept it small enough so that if the core concept is not good it can still be changed. The code is hosted on GitHub here, it should be accessible to anyone, let me know if there is any issue of if you would like a zip in this thread. Cheers

I saw this blog post yesterday and found it pretty funny, hope you'll enjoy! http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/1/16/what-if-cars-were-rented-like-we-hire-programmers.html

I usually stick with the Pane Size events, I believe that those will fire as expected in the subPanel.

Wait till you see LabVIEW 2013. It's so ahead of it's time it's nostalgic. Lucky I hacked NI and stole a snapshot build so I can show you all:

Nice! Your concept tracks refreshingly smoothly for a native LV solution! By the way, another great example of this concept is XTab by SAPHIR. Olivier created an impressive video to demonstrate (the embedded video is currently broken on that site; here's a direct link to the video: http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/xksiht -- the part you're interested in starts around 0min:38sec)
