Template:VIServerGetAncestors

The input to this template is the Class ID of a class in the VI Server Class Hierarchy. The template then builds the class's inheritance hierarchy through a series of nested if-statements using the Template:VIServerGetParent template. The current limit of nested if-statements is nine (9). Currently, as of LabVIEW 2019, the VI Server Class Hierarchy is only six (6) levels deep, at the deepest.
Syntax is as follows:
{{VIServerGetAncestors|{{{1}}}}}
where:
| Parameter | Description | Default |
