Generating front panel

[PhilippeLemoine]

I have an API described in a formatted file, but not a programming language file. I also have a tool to generate automatically .h files to provide my customers with a C-API.
I am looking at an automated way to generate Front
Panels (.fp) files.
Is there a way to do this ?
Is the FP format publicly available ? Do you or someone have tools - maintained in the time - to generate FPs ?

Hello

CVI 7 does provide a tool to generate a function tree from a header file, under Tools >> Generate function tree. It makes use of particular tags in the file, more details of which you can find in the help for this option in CVI 7.0. CVI 6.0 also provides an example of programmatically generating fp files, but it has a differnet interface. You might be able to change it to suit your needs if you dont have CVI 7.

I hope this helps

Hello,
where can I find the example you are talking about under CVI 7.0? Have you got ohter examples?

The tool is not working with the default qualifier:
"__declspec(dllexport) __stdcall"
-> error message: Qualifier must consist of valid C identifier.

Have you got a solution? In the help it is said that I can specify any default qualifier...

Regards, Pascal.
