LabVIEW Object-Oriented Programming: R&D Technical White Paper (LV8.2)

[AristosQueue (NI)]

LabVIEW++ would make it sound like a different language. The whole point is that it isn't -- it's just a feature in LabVIEW. It's been a tricky proposition to strike the right balance. Besides, when we did consider something akin to LabVIEW++, one developer pointed out that this would be better:
 
A joke, of course. Because, again, at the end of the day, it's just LabVIEW, now with OOP.

A dynamic dispatch VI is a member of a class with the class input and output on the connector pane set to dynamic dispatch instead of optional, required, or recommended.  At run-time, the proper VI will be run, depending on where in the class hierarchy the data in the input wire resides.

For a minute I thought NI was going to rename LabVIEW to LabVOOP...

FYI,

The white paper posted in the original post has been converted to an online Tutorial in the DeveloperZone.  Please reference LabVIEW Object-Oriented Programming: The Decisions Behind the Design for the most up-to-date version of the material.

Take care,

OO is not a programming language. It is a programming methodology (and some say a programming philosophy.) You need a programming language anyway, which should support the methodology.

Hmmmm gonne read it tomorrow. But I was expacting LaTeX to be typesetting not Word!
