OOP and the problems it solves

[InfiniteNothing]

To summarize, you want to think about using OOP when

• You have code that you want to reuse but can't fit it into a traditional subVI
• You have a wire or a terminal and you want it to switch between type definitions
• You want other people to be able to use your code without modifying your VIs
• You want to constrain the developer in what they can do with the data on your wires (eg you can prevent them from  prematurely releasing your queue)
• You want to be able to open your current config files with future versions of code.

You'll need LapDog to open the LapDog read example where I extend the LapDog API to add an "anything to string" function.
