Importing Files from a Microsoft Visual Studio Project
The Test RealTime GUI offers the ability to create a project by importing source files
from an existing Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 or .NET project.
Note The Import Makefile feature merely imports a list of files as referenced
in the Visual Studio project. It does not import everything you need to
immediately build a project in Test RealTime.
The makefile import feature creates a new project, reads the .dsp or .vcproj project
file and adds the source files found in the Visual Studio project to the Test RealTime
project. The project is created with the default Configuration Settings of the current
Target Deployment Port (TDP).
Any other information contained in the Visual Studio project, such as compilation
options must be entered manually in the Configuration Settings dialog box.
To import files from a makefile:
1.
Close any open projects.
2. From
the
File menu, select Import and Import Visual Studio Project. Use the file
selector to locate a valid .dsp or .vcproj project file and click Open.
3.
Enter a name for the new project and click OK.
4.
Select the correct Configuration in the Configuration toolbar.
5. In
the
Project Explorer, click Settings
.
6.
Enter any specific compilation options in the Build settings and click OK.
Refreshing the Asset Browser
The Asset Browser view of the Project Explorer window analyzes source files and
extracts information about source code components (classes, methods, functions,
etc...) as well as any dependency files. This capability, known as
file tagging
, allows
you to navigate through your source files more easily and provides direct access to
the source code components through the Text Editor.
When the automatic file tagging option is selected, Test RealTime refreshes the file
information whenever a change is detected. However, you can use the Refresh
Information command to update a single file or the entire project.
You can change the way files are tagged by Test RealTime by changing the Source
File Information Configuration Settings for the current project.
Note When many files are involved in the tagging process, the Refresh
Information command may take several minutes.
