The main idea behind object-oriented programming is as simple as can be: you try to break a program in parts that are as powerful as the whole.

Many LabVIEW programmers already perform object-oriented programming (OOP). The basic building block is the VI, which is comparable to a subroutine with multiple input and output parameters.

What is object-oriented programming, and how does it work under the hood? How about event-driven programming? Such questions, in one form or another, constantly appear in various discussion forums.
