Attached is a project I started and quickly realized that I’m not sure how to efficiently create an interactive user interface, and currently programming this is quite tedious. How can the attached project be written faster and in a more efficient way? Task: 1 – Create any number of buttons (or other front panel objects) by reading an Excel (or table) in which the number of rows is the number of buttons that need to be created. The first column is the text shown on those buttons. The second, third, forth… column could be tied to that button (i.e. concatenate strings and saving it to the buttons' description). 2 – Allow the user to click or hover their mouse over a button (or other front panel objects) and have information “pop up” or show information that is related to that button (…). LabVIEW Version: I wrote this in 8.6 and saved for 8.0. I can post an older version if you would like to help. I currently have access to versions: 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 8.2.1, 8.5.1, and 8.6 through my work. Can anyone show me or point me to techniques to make programming this faster? Thank you in advance, Lauren
