Can i let user to add new objects without any programmin​g requiremen​t??

Question

Hi,
I am doing my final year project on wireless data acquisition & building
automation. Simply just a computer which can control building equipments &
receive the status.
I want my program to be flexible so that when there are new equipments
added to the building, the user can add those equipments control in the
computer side software. (I expect the user don't know how to user labview
for programming). For example, if a water pump is added in the building, the
user can just add a new control for that water pump by just click on a few
buttons and set the equipments address.
Any suggestion??
Best regards
Calvin

Hi Calvin
The only way I know of generating controls/indicators like that is using an
array of controls (or an array of clusters, each clusterr containing a set of
controls), and dynamically changing the number of elements in the array. You
can then set some of the attribute node properties such as the index that is
visible at the top left of the array control, and the number of rows/columns
that are visible. However, it means that each new control set you create has
to be the same as all the others (because it is an array).
