Although it does not seems right to me. Globals are not for displaying.

Maybe you should use a "functional global", instead.

If you do a small search you will find examples

Hi, Pnt,

Why not? Showing globals or not as well as using or not - there are design questions. Like "to be or not to be".

In some situations globals can be useful (with deep understanding, of course).

The question was - how to show FP of Globals in runtime technically, and yep - this is possible.

I agree that the question should be answered.

But usually not experienced users could go in the wrong way, if things are not cleared. 

So the question is "Why not?"

There is no good reason. I just think it is bad coding style.

Has anyone used it ?

[Andrey_Dmitriev]

Personally I don't remember, that I have used Globals (at least last year).

But in the past, few years ago, I have project where globals was used exactly in that way - with showing their Front Panel (service department urgently asked me to show some information - and this info was already used as Globals, so I just added just one button... - that was very "quick and dirty" solution).

But I agree with you - in most cases the necessarity for using and showing Globals to user - is the sign that something may be wrong with design.
