Resize Me If You Can! Scalable & Dynamic LabVIEW UI Framework

Abstract

Let’s 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 DQMH—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!
