getting the Measurement Studio's control

[L_K]

I am new to Visual C++. I am modifying someone else's code by adding a CWGraph onto an existing dialog. I wonder how I can do that. I can't start up with NI Measurement Studio Setup Wizard though because I have to make a modification to the existing project.

If you are using Visual C++ 6.0 with Measurement Studio 6.0, you can add Measurement Studio support to an existing project via the Measurement Studio Add/Remove Components Wizard. You can get to this wizard via the first button in the Measurement Studio toolbar. For more information, see the "Using the Measurement Studio Add/Remove Components Wizard" topic in the Measurement Studio for Visual C++ Reference. You can get to this topic from the table of contents via Visual C++ Help->Tutorials->Getting Started.

If you are using Visual C++ .NET 2003 with Measurement Studio 7.0 or 7.1, you can add Measurement Studio support to an existing project via the Measurement Studio Add/Remove Class Libraries Wizard. You can get to this wizard via the Add/Remove Cla
ss Libraries Wizard item in the Measurement Studio menu or via the first button in the Measurement Studio toolbar. For more information, see the "Adding or Removing Measurement Studio Visual C++ Class Libraries" topic in the Measurement Studio for Visual Studio .NET reference. You can get to this topic from the table of contents via NI Measurement Studio Help->Developing with Measurement Studio->Adding or Removing Measurement Studio Class Libraries. If you have Measurement Studio 7.1 installed, this link will take you directly to the topic.

Hi Elton
I can't find the Measurement Studio Add/Remove components wizard. I don't have any Measurement Studio toolbar though. Your link doesn't work either, it doesn't link to anywhere. I am using Measurement Studio version 1.0.1 and I can't find any document (manual or reference) on any directory. Anyway, I looked this link http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/3eaff7ffd5a0d9efc1256be500664779?OpenDocument
That document mention about how to add the Measurement Studio toolbar by Tools » Customize » Toolbars and then click MStudio, or right-click in the toolbars area and then click MStudio.
But I when I did Tools>customize>toolbars, I don't see any MStudio (I only see menu bar, standard, build, build minibar, atl, resource, dial
og, controls. edit, debug, browse, database, source control. wizardbar) . I also tried right click in the toolbars area, but I only see "What is this" message. can you please tell me how to get to Measurement Studio Add/Remove Components Wizard?

The first paragraph of my reply above was specific to Measurement Studio 6.0 and the second paragraph was specific to Measurement Studio 7.0 and 7.1. The link at the end of the second paragraph only works if you have Measurement Studio 7.1 installed. The Add/Remove Components Wizard feature was a new feature in Measurement Studio 6.0, and there is not an equivalent wizard in Measurement Studio 1.0.1.

The easiest option would be to upgrade to a newer version of Measurement Studio and use the wizard as I described above. If that is not an option and you do not want to use the project wizard to create a new project with Measurement Studio support, you will need to follow the steps as described in the "How to Update an Existing Microsoft Visual C++ Project with the New Tools for Visual C++ Classes in... topic.
