Dynapanels is a technology which allows placing controls or indicators in a vi front panel. This technology does not use any VI Scripting and hence it is perfectly safe to use it in executable or commercial application.

• Controls are created dynamically
• Control can be binded to any variable published withing your program
• No memory consumption if control is not created for any perticular variable.
• Very useful for allowing end user to create their own report formats.
• Macro recording can be added for storing control placements. or even raising actions in a perticular sequence.
• Custom dynamic controls can be created in minutes by using template.
• No VI Scripting is used.
• Can be used to create toolbars (toolbars can be extended through plug ins as well)
• Dynamic controls can handle any event of standard control
• Can subscribe to more than one variable
• Can preprocess data before display.
• Uses Publisher Scubscriber Architecture

you can also download the demo application built with LabVIEW 8.2 at http://www.jambhekar...dynapanels.htmlI understand that the demo shows very basic proof of concept. But please do give feedback about what additional features will make this even better.
