Resize Me If You Can! Scalable & DynamicLabVIEW UI Framework by Matthias Baudot

Lets face it: building modern UIs in LabVIEW is painful.

Things that are simple in other languages – dynamic layouts, responsive resizing, reusable components – quickly turn into long, frustrating rabbit holes in LabVIEW. Do we really have to spend hundreds of hours just to get a UI that _feels_ normal by today’s standards?

Not if you have the right framework.

In this session, we’ll show you how we built a powerful UI framework for LabVIEW based on DQMHs’ one that supports dynamic, scalable layouts defined at runtime, and dramatically reduces UI development time.

We’ll also tackle the big question: “can LabVIEW UIs be reused across projects?” Think reusable login pages, graphs, lists, you name it. Spoiler: yes, “it’s possible” and maybe even essential. But is it always a good idea? We want you in the conversation, so bring your thoughts and raise your hand!
