Quick Class Question - Adding the same VI to multiple classes. - Programming Techniques

[Kenneth.Miller]

All,

     I have somewhat of a simple error here. I'd like to add the same VI to two different labview classes, in the same project. Whenever I add the same VI with the same name (but copies in different locations) it chokes, but when I change the name of one of the copies and add it to the second project, it works fine. This seems a bit silly to me. I guess the solution would be to just not add the VI to either and call it. Is this a good programming technique? The VI doesn't use the class data at all, it simply does a simple data manipulation, but I'd like to use it in both classes. Thanks!

Regards,
Ken

This is an excerpt from the LabVIEW Object Oriented Programming FAQ:

"A LabVIEW class is a type of project library. It is a project library dedicated to the task of defining a data type. Like a project library, the LabVIEW class defines scope and namespace for its member VIs, and a VI can be owned by one and only one LabVIEW class. "
