Yes, I know, again with my stupid plugin. I do dynamic buttons with a plugin. Internally, structure is managed with C++ classes, and panels are simply recreated with pan_create using stored structure, based on modifications to that structure, etc. This means I can move, hide / show, remove, change bmaps for, change functions for, change text for, buttons on the fly. Evidently, pan_create is quick enough to do this. It's been awhile since I've worked on the plugin, but here is a list of exported functions:

So the answer, unfortunately, might be function pan_create. It is probably the same with the A6 UI editor written in Lite-C...I noticed that you posted in that thread.
Creating 256 panels and buttons using my plugin might resemble this:
Code:
var i3[3];
i3[0] = 0;
while (i3[0] < 256) {
i3[1] = uifNewP(i3[0] * 3, i3[0] * 3);
i3[2] = uifNewB("b", 0, 0, 0);
uifAdd(i3[1], i3[2]);
uifSetImgAll(i3[2], "b0.pcx");
uifCompile(i3[1]);
i3[0] += 1;
}
