[br]We have the Move Selection to New File refactoring command:

https://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W286

which is designed to let you move a selection from the file to a new file.  Once the file has been created, you can select entire blocks quickly and easily in VA Outline, especially if they are grouped together, so you can select the parent node, then copy and paste these into the newly created file:

VA Snippets can help with creating and filling in a new base class.  For example a new default install of VA comes with a C++ snippet with the shortcut "bas", which when accepted inside one of the derived class function bodies will insert a call to the matching function in the parent class.

We are considering adding a refactoring command to move a function into the parent or derived class, from its current class, but we don't have any firm plans for when this will be attempted yet:

antonio tanas	Posted - Dec 26 2018 : 07:58:28 AM Hi guys, I'm coding in C ++. I wonder if you could help move / copy the selected virtual function from a base class to an existing derived class. Or create a derived class and move the selected virtual function leaving an empty virtual function to the base class. Or move the selected virtual function of the derived class to replace the existing (empty?) In the base class. Or move a class to a new set of files (h & cpp) from a file containing multiple classes. Either move a set of definitions to a new header file and add include to the necessary file. The typical use is: Have a class that we have to derive to modify some members function. Some definitions will change from base to derivative or inverse, some member functions will be copied and modified in the new derivate class. Best Regards

feline	Posted - Dec 28 2018 : 2:29:30 PM Are you familiar with the Implement Virtual Methods command? https://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W165 This is designed to help when you want to implement virtual methods from a base class, as the name suggests.
