You must be using a different dictionary than the rest of us.
You can't dynamically create controls while a VI is running.   (If I'm mistaken, then I'm sure someone else can jump in and say how it can be done.)
Do you have a finite number of controls you could possibly need?  What you can do is create enough controls of the type you need ahead of time.  At the beginning of your program, you hide all of those controls.  As you need to create a control, you make it visible using property nodes.  There are numerous properties you can set at run time suce as ranges, colors, captions, ...  Of course you can't wire these controls to any other bits of code ahead of time since at that time, you haven't defined what you want each one to actually control.  But if you use an event structure to detect when the values of the controls have changed, you can then programmatically pass the data off to other parts of your code using queues.  The architecture can get complicate quite fast, so you may want to look through Ben's Action Engine Nugget and other related threads for how to create mechanisms for using these controls.  Perhaps storing queue reference numbers or assign user events to each one.
