Including header file in project??
-
I have application build in Embeded VC++ 4.0 project,now i want to include (.h) file in project which is produced from another (.exe) built in Win32(App) Console.I have added header file in project workspace.The problem is (.h) file is created after compiling the project.I want to include (.h) file before compilation of code because it is being used in project.Is there any way to do thing? I have tried by writing command in Custom build step: call "L:\11rvtsapril\ExcelCvt.exe"//(ExcelCvt.exe is Wn32 Console App) Is there any way to change Comipler option so that Cosole App(.exe) runs first,after that compilation of Application take place.Thanks in advance.

that's impossible !!! the .obj, .lib, .dll or .exe are, but not .h, .c or .cpp because they are the SOURCE of a program !

When i run Console Win 32 App,then it reads excel & converts it into file(which may be of any type .txt,.c,.cpp,.h).This file needs to be used in another project Embedded VC++ 4.0(MFC Supported).How this could be done? This shold happen: When i compile Embedded VC++ 4.0(MFC Supported) Application,then it automatically runs another .exe (Win 32 Cosole App) first,which in turn generate a file & this file needs to be used in project. Is there any more clarification required????

It depends of the IDE you are using. But in general, you have several options. The easiest one, is to open the "Tool Build Order" option (in the 'Project' menu, for VC2005) and move the custom build tool before. Or instead of using a custom build step, you can use the 'Build events' specify your command line to be executed in the 'Pre-Build Event'. The last option is a little bit more complex: you can create a custom build rule yourself and so create a new 'tool'. But that's is a little bit comlicated.

WTF does excel come to do here ? :confused: can you talk a little more about that file content ?

That is possible. Sometimes, some header files and source files are generated by external tools. An example is when you use CORBA (it is a technology that allows you to make calls on a remote class, something similar to DCOM i think). You need to provide an IDL file (Interface Description Language). From this file, a specific CORBA compiler will generate header files and source files that need to be used by your program. So, it is logical that this tool is executed before the compilation of your program.

Charting control [v1.2 - Updated]yes yes, i know about CORBA. but here, it seemed to me that the OP were not really of that advanced knowledge
