Delete Child Class from a Parent Class

[OJwithPulp]

Hello All,

    I'm confused where to find the option to remove a child class from its parents class.

I see that I can change it's Inheritance (as seen in the attached picture). However, I do not see the option to remove let's say the AOP.lvclass from the Tests.lvclass

Reading through previous threads, it seems like this task is very unclear. Though I hope there's a simple solution that I just overlooked.

Regards,

The parent has no clue about any of the children that inherit from it.  You have to make the change to the child class.

Try changing its inheritance to the LV generic class and save all.

Thank you to both "crossrulz" and "ben"  for the quick response. I was able to follow your directions and changed the child class inheritance to the default LV class. Which removed it from the Tests parent class it was originally filed under. Then I was able to remove it from the project altogether as well.

You should not have had to change its inheritance in order to delete the class from the project.

Wasn't that changed in an early version of LVOOP?

I don't know about the early days of LVOOP (it was a long time before I started to dive in).  But at least recently, I deleted a class from my project that did not use the LV Object as its direct ancestor.  If the parent actually cared, then I could see an issue.  But the parent has absolutely no clue who inherits from it.

Well, this is what was happening to me before (see pictures). I would try and remove a class from the labview project and it wouldn't work in the sense that It can still be seen under the Test Parent Class.

It would still be there if it was still in memory due to a previous run of your software that used it.  If you closed the project and opened it back up, it should be gone.
