Creates a control or constant of the data type you specify. LabVIEW always creates a control initially. To change the type of the new object, use the Change to Indicator method.

Use the To More Specific Class function to try to cast the reference this method returns to the specific class you want to use in the application. If the function does not return an error, the reference matches the specific class.
