Option Description
All Classes in Project

Displays all of the classes in the LabVIEW project.

A LabVIEW class cannot inherit from any of its descendants or from any classes that use the class as part of its private data, which are marked with a black circle with a line through it. If you select a class in the All Classes in Project list that the LabVIEW class cannot inherit from, LabVIEW displays an invalid glyph next to the class.
Selected Class Displays information about the class you select from the All Classes in Project list.
  • Name—Displays the name of the class you select in the All Classes in Project list.
  • Path—Displays the path to the class you select in the All Classes in Project list.
  • Description—Displays the description of the class you select in the All Classes in Project list.
  • Icon—Displays the icon of the class you select in the All Classes in Project list.
Inherit From Selected

Updates the LabVIEW class with the inheritance you selected and closes the Change Inheritance dialog box.
Note If the current class cannot inherit from the class you select, a warning glyph appears below the Icon with an explanation.
