multiple c files

[Srm27]

Hi,

Hopefully I can phrase this with out too much confusion!!

Can I do the following and if so how?

I have two projects in CVI and I would like to put them into one as the functionally and UIR’s in both I need to use.

The two were developed at different times but I now need to rolled both into one application.

Each project has a single UIR and a single c file.

Project 1 is the main project, which will be calling, via a command button (I hope), project 2.

This, as you can see, is a new departure for me as I normally write one big c file doing all the work and I have never ventured into multiple c files with just one master!!!

Thanks for the help

CVI can manage projects that include several source files as well as several UIR and include files: the Edit >> Project menu item can help you in adding all the files you want.

Some hints on managing such projects:

• You must have only one main () function in the project
• Similarly, it's better that you call RunUserInterface only once
• Every source file must include the necessary files to run (toolbox, analysis, instruments...) and the include file(s) of the UIR(s) that the module needs to operate on
• Global variables and function definitions other than those associated to UIR controls can be defined in a separate include file to #include in every source file

This means that merging two projects should not be a complicated matter: you must decide which is the master application and call the "slave" from this one; in the called app the main routine is replaced from the calling routine from the master app; next you will need to handle the interactions between the two projects merged, if any.
