Please post what you have done so far... :blink:

Is the "Extra information" front panel objects? If so, create control references for all the objects that you want to show/hide, and put all these references in an array.

Then use a property node in a loop, to set the "Visible" property for all these objects.

There are many ways to do this. One very simple is to place this hidden information on a sheet of a tab indicator. Also create one empty sheet to the tab indicator. Select visible sheet by wiring a value to the tab indicator. If you care about look & feel you can make your tab control transparent using the paint tool in the tools menu window.

but how can I create control references ???

Right click on the control node on the block diagram and click create>reference.

another option is to have the controls off the side of your interface and when the user clicks a show/hide button, resize the front panel to show.hide the controls.

nOoooooo! This is really annoying way. I've seen a couple of such LabVIEW UIs and I must admit I really hate them. I'd still vote for the tab control as it's very easy to manage. Simply drag and drop new items there and they get hidden. In addition You can display something else for not so advanced users instead.
