A system and a method generate a device user interface (232) excecutable by an information handling system (100). A device database (214) includes a list of devices (216-220) for which user interface components are available to implement functions for controlling the devices, and a resource database (222) includes the user interface components (224-228). The device to be controlled by the user interface is identified and compared to a database of devices for which user interface resource components are available. A user interface generator (212) determines whether the device is included in the device database and retrieves the user interface components from the resource database. A layout manager (230) assembles the user interface components into a user interface. If the device is not listed, generic device user interface components are retrieved, otherwise device specific user interface components are retrieved, and assembled into a layout matrix. The user interface is created from the layout matrix.
