I'd like a different creation script for "New VI for Override"

[CaseyLamers1]

Not sure if the AF group is really the best place for this, but I use it a ton in my AF projects...

I frequently use the "New VI for Override" feature in my projects.  Problem is, I always have to add a case structure with an error case and I rarely use the call parent method.  I'd like to see something like the template for "New VI for Dynamic Dispatch" but with the call to the parent in the case structure.

I can't find a way to delete.  Please advise.

Thanks.

You can try G# add-on. It a toolset to extend LabVIEW with reference based OOP but it also let's you to use usual lvclass as the basis. It has new method creation dialog which creates an override similar to what you like, only it doesn't have the call parent method in it. I use it much more often than the built in LabVIEW methods.

Find and edit the VI

     resource\Framework\Providers\LVClassLibrary\NewAccessors\OverrideRetooler\Custom User Scripting For New Override VI.vi

That gets called at the end of scripting override VIs. You're free to add any code you want there to adjust the final results. The other scripter classes have similar VIs. Most of the scripting tools are password protected, but these are left deliberately not password protected by me to give you hooks into the process.
