Setting Access Restrictions for Class Methods

The access scope of a class method determines how you can use the method outside its class.

Complete the following steps to determine where you can use a class method.

1. Open the Architecture view of the class.
2. Select the method on the Member List.
3. Select an access scope option from the pull-down menu in the Access scope column.

   Option	Description
   Public	Any VI or CDL in the project can access the method.
   Private	Only members of the same class can access the method.
   Protected	Any member of the same class or a child class can access the method.
   Community	Any VI, CDL, or class member on the Friends list can access the method

4. To apply the change, save the class.
