Object-Oriented programming in LabVIEW 8.2

[luke]

I read about the new Object-Oriented features in LabVIEW 8.20. It has inheritance, but it also have polymorphism and overriding? Without these it is impossible to implement some design patterns like the "strategy".

I TESTED IT!!! IT HAS BOTH POLYMORPHISM AND OVERRIDING!!!

Now we should find the way to pass parameters by reference!!!

Does anybody know how to do it?

Go to NI's website and read some of the whitepapers on NI's GOOP. They currently pass ba value only. There is no pass by reference. Not yet.

Some people are already at work on wrapping NI's new stuff inside of some of the open source pass-by-reference toolkits available.

Keep your eyes open.

Use the NI Example Finder and search for "object-oriented". There is a "by reference" example, that shows how to use a queue reference as an object that refers to global data. Other global/shared object frameworks can be implemented in the same way.

NICE! It seems a simpler approach then dqGOOP.

I think that such method is OK, but an automatic tool that creates and updates the "reference class" will be fantastic!
