Implement Pure Virtuals

  • Artikkeli

What: Generate the code required to implement all pure virtual methods in a class.

When: You want to inherit from a class with pure virtual functions.

Why: You could manually implement all pure virtual functions one-by-one, however this feature will generate all method signatures automatically.

How:

  1. Place your text or mouse cursor over the class in which you want to implement the pure virtual functions of the base class.

    Screenshot of a class that has two pure virtual functions named Method1 and Method2. An empty class named MyInheritedClass derives from it.

  2. Next, do one of the following:

    • Keyboard
      • Press Ctrl+. to trigger the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu and select Implement all Pure Virtuals for class 'ClassName' from the context menu, where ClassName is the name of the selected class.
    • Mouse
      • Right-click and select the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu and select Implement all Pure Virtuals for class 'ClassName' from the context menu, where ClassName is the name of the selected class.

  3. The pure virtual method signatures will be created automatically, ready to be implemented.

    Screenshot of MyInheritedClass which now has 2 virtual method definitions that match the names and signatures of the declarations in the base class.
