I'm creating some UI controls in Lab Windows CVI programmatically, and I saw on NI's site that there are two different graph types, "CTRL_GRAPH_LS" and "CTRL_GRAPH". Many other controls have the same suffix. What are the differences between the two?

Thanks in advance.

_LS is used to indicate Lab Style controls.

Using one over the other is completely preferential. The primary distinction is that Lab Style is a new style, as opposed to Classic, or old style. Lab Style has a richer, 3D look, where the old style is flatter in appearance. In terms of functionality, I have seen no advantage using one over the other. When using the NewCtrl function to programmatically create your UI controls, you can select Lab Style controls by including the _LS suffix option for controls that offer it.
