Hi,
This is a really good question. Yes, G# Framework will soon be packed as VIPM. We tried and actually have troubles packing the G# Framework as a VIPM package, due to the difficulties in packing a VIPM package for toolkits using the project provider API that is always installed in <LabVIEW>/resource folder. I met JKI at NI Week a few weeks ago and discussed the problem and they are working on a solution to make it easier for project provider toolkits to build VIPM packages. The dialog is ongoing with JKI and it has a high priority for us to pack G# Framework (and StarUML plug-in) as a VIPM package, using the very good tool from JKI.
I'm sure there will be a solution in next couple of months, since JKI is very keen on making this work as well. The plan is to put the G# VIPM on LabVIEW Tools network and on AddQs homepage, both the VIPM package and "regular" installer will be provided.
Thanks,
Mattias

Hello everybody.
It would be very nice to have design pattern methods in G# Class templates.
For example: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2875

I really like the G# icon editor, but would love some glyph support. It'd allow for classes to have a fitting icon either faded in the background or more obvious, e.g. having a cog in the background for some utility class.

I see that this is still listed as Not Answered, So I assume that means you are always open to new ideas. I think I had one that would be really useful (at least to me).
So I really like the G# Debugger ( very nice) And I like that when you select an object you can get a highlight of its aggregates. But it would be extremely nice if I didn't have to search through all the object to find the highlighted ones. perhaps a separate list of aggregates so I could easily traverse the tree. And maybe keep a box for the previously selected item so I can go back up the tree.

Yes, we are always open to new ideas, especially the good ones. 🙂 The G# Debugger is one of the best things about G# compared to other competive OO solutions.
Your idea sounds interesting, we will have a look at it and discuss within the G# team.
Best regards,
Mattias

First of all it is a grate tool
- I would like the tool to have a interface to JKI's unit test for fast creating of unit test code.
- It would be cool if it would be easier to refactor the code. Move methods to another class or change the inheritance hierarchy.
- Another pain is the possibility to use icon templates.

Hi,
Thanks for the kind words.
1) Interesting idea to integrate with JKIs unit tester. We will have a look at it, but I can't promise anything.
2) There is clone method to other class and if you just delete the old one, that would actually be a move. Perhaps we can automate this option as well. Doesn't sound to difficult to implement.
3) We do have a update for the icon editor in beta version. Icon template is a nice idea.
We will discuss these idea as well in the G# team.
Thanks,
Mattias

Kjeld: Changing inheritance can easily be done from the right-click G#-menu. Are you talking about changing inheritance of more than one class at once, say to change base class of more than one sub-classes, or what scenarios do you have?
Icon templates (edited post): I'm sorry I have to take back that we were working on it. Layers, glyphs: yes, but using icon templates: no. There's really a conflicting concept with how G# creates its icons and how icon templates are used. I will see what I can do but it might just not be any feasible solution to it.
Move methods to another class: #workingonit
