Relinking Projects to OGTK-2.x

[Jim K. <ji...@ji...>]

Hello All,

As you may know, the OpenG Toolkit 2.0 has some changes.

(1) OpenG Toolkit VIs are now installed beneath =
<./user.lib/_OpenG.lib/>.

(2) The OGTK library packages are integrated into the palettes by =
installing
the libraries' .mnu files beneath the "Dynamic Palette View" directory
<./user.lib/_dynamicpalette_dirs/>.

(3) OpenG Toolkit VIs now have a suffix and are named like "*__ogtk.vi".
This avoids name collisions with new LV70 vi.lib VIs such as "Trim
Whitespace.vi" and "Get Tag.vi".

#3 introduces the problem that projects, which are linked to OGTK-1.x, =
will
need to be relinked to OGTK-2.x (because the Toolkit VI names have =
changed).
For this, I have created a tool called "Relink Project to OGTK-2.x"
(ogrsc_relink_project_to_ogtk_2 package).  This tool performs the =
following
actions:

1  - Creates a temporary copy of OGTK 2.x in a temp dir
2  - Removes the __ogtk suffix from the OGTK 2.x in the temp dir
3  - Loads the OGTK 2.x in the temp dir into memory
4  - Opens your project source files into memory
5  - Restores the __ogtk suffix to the OGTK 2.x in the temp dir
6  - Saves project source files
7  - Unloads all files from memory
8  - Deletes OGTK 2.x in the temp dir
9  - Loads the OGTK 2.x into memory
10 - Opens your project source files into memory
11 - Saves project source files

There is a link for downloading this tool on the "OpenG Toolkit: =
Downloads"
page...

Please back up your project source files, before running this utility =
:-)
