G Types allow you to reuse controls throughout your project. You can use G Types to create and delete controls dynamically at run time.

What to Use

What to Do

Create the following diagram to create and delete controls at run time.

	Create a control on the panel according to the specified x and y positions. Select the Create Dynamic Control node and use the Data type option on the Item tab to specify the G Type that contains the control. The Create Dynamic Control node also returns a reference to the control.
	Wait for 500 milliseconds before executing the next subdiagram. You can add a Property Node to change the properties of the control.
	Delete the control from the panel.
	Repeat the subdiagram for ten times. The shift registers pass the x position value from one iteration to the next.
