Change class <-> interface

[pawhan11]

Hello,

I have some old classes and in lv2020 i need them as interfaces. They have no private data. Is there a way in LV to change lvclass to interface and interface back to lvclass?

I don't know what you mean by "interfaces".

I mean interfaces:

I wanted to convert some classes from 2018 to interfaces in 2020 without recreating all the methods manually.

From what I can see it doesn't look like you can change a class to an interface easily.  There is an 'Is Interface' property, but it's not writeable, and hand-hacking the xml in the lvclass file is probably non-trivial

I've thrown together some scripting that will copy all of the method VIs from a class into an interface which might get you what you need, or at least close enough that tidying things up by hand is possible

Cheers

One other thing, you may need to turn on VI Scripting for this to work - this is in the Options dialog under the Tools menu
