Creates a control or constant of the data type you specify. LabVIEW always creates a control initially, even if you configure Style to create a constant or indicator. To change the type of the new object, use the Indicator property.
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.

In LabVIEW 2011 the Create from Data Type method changed the data type of the Style parameter from a 32-bit signed integer to an enum. The Style parameter also includes the following new values: {Probe, Diagram, Panel Control, 3D Panel Control, Dialog Panel Control, Panel Indicator, 3D Panel Indicator, Dialog Panel Indicator, Power PC Control, and Power PC Indicator.} (For the previous method see Create from Data Type (Deprecated) method.)
