I'm excited to release ViPER ViPER is an Object Oriented design Framework that supports dependency injection and recursive object creation. Systems are assembled at runtime from a collection of pre-built components defined by an Object Definition Document. Please visit the project on GitHub https://github.com/kurtafriday/ViPER I've presented this framework at several GLA Conferences, for an overview and guidance please view. GLA 2021 https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/GLA_Summit_2021/Open_Source_ViPER GLA 2020 https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/GLA_Summit_2020/ViPER_-_A_LabVIEW_Dependency_Injection_Framework This branch of ViPER has been used by us to develop systems in regulated industries for several years, it's solid and reliable, however its windows only. I'm working on ViPER_WinRT which is compatible with Windows and RT and we have already used it for several systems. I'll be releasing ViPER_WinRT in the coming months. I'll work to get ViPER onto the VIPM Tools Network soon. I'm looking forward to the feedback and I hope you enjoy and get value from this framework. Ping me if you have any questions. kurt@medulla.net

Not from NI, that I know of. I did make a similar API that wraps the Qt framework. That involves creating external windows though; your toolkit has the benefit of being integrated with VI front panels. Original LAVA post: https://lavag.org/topic/19611-utf-8-text-svg-images-inheritable-gui-components-dynamically-composed-guis-layout-management-splitters-in-tabs-mdis-taskbar-integration-and-much-more/ NIPM installation instructions: https://jksh.github.io/LQ-Bindings/docs/ As Mikael and Rolf said, class constants are not needed: Definitely! LabVIEW's built-in support for dynamic GUIs is very poor. NXG was starting to show some promise with dynamic controls, but that's now dead. So, community-built tools are sorely needed. Are you planning to make public releases of your work? Layouts are common concept in a wide variety of GUI toolkits. Makes it so much easier to create resizable GUIs and support a variety of screen resolutions.

You can add text labels to a dial. It does not turn it into an enum but sort of works like you would expect (change the data type to U8).

I love the Picture Control, it's very fast if you use it correctly. I developmed the whole GDS UML modeller (http://opengds.github.io/) based on that. One performance issue is if you draw lot of text with a none default font size, then it becomes very slow. Make sure you use Smooth updates, and I always use Erase first. What does the shft register make it poorly? Do you have an exmaple where it's slow we can look at?

Hi all, sorry i had to do some other work. @ O_o: We already took a look into the UML editor from GOOP: The code is horrible. @drjdpowell: Thank you for your Picture and your inspiration. Up to now we try an other way. We will report if we found a solution. Thanks again Oliver

The candles are starting to flicker to life... I read that and immediately wondered why the first case causes a broken run arrow and the second doesn't. (Hey, it was in CAPS... it was easy to skip the preceeding sentences.) Then the word "object" in the PRTC context help hit me over the head. From my end user perspective, previous versions of Labview don't make a distinction between classes and objects. (For example, the To More Specific Class prim has 'Target Class' as an input that in reality accepts an object.) Despite my attempts to differentiate between the two when posting, in my head I often use the terms interchangably. I'll have to work hard to change my way of thinking. I'd give you more kudos if I could...
