Specify Create or Update Mode Page (Import Shared Library Wizard)

Requires: Base Development System

Use this page of the Import Shared Library wizard to specify whether you want to create wrapper VIs for a new shared library or update wrapper VIs for a shared library that you imported previously. Select Tools»Import»Shared Library to launch the Import Shared Library wizard.

This page includes the following components:

• Create VIs for a shared library—Creates VIs based on the header file and shared library file you provide. This option creates a new destination directory and project library (.lvlib) for the VIs. If you select this option, you must specify a project library that does not yet exist. If you specify an existing VI library, you will be prompted to choose another filename and/or destination directory.
• Update VIs for a shared library—Updates and overwrites VIs that you generated previously. If you select this option and attempt to update VIs within an existing project library file, LabVIEW overwrites the previously saved project library file and any previously existing VIs within that file. Any previously generated VIs that you do not choose to update remain in the directory unchanged. If you select this option, you must select a shared library to update from the Updatable Shared Libraries list.
• Updatable Shared Libraries—Lists the shared libraries that you imported previously. Select Update VIs for a shared library to enable this listbox. You select the library you want to update from this list.
