Automated dll import

[alkhodarev]

I'm trying to automate dll import using Jenkins. So the question is:

is it possible to import dll in Labview using some sort of command line? Right now i have to do it manually by going to Tools>>Import>>Shared library (.dll). Then i have to select dll itself and .h file, wait a little and get my library. Every time dll and .h file changes (which happens with every new revision) process has to be repeated. It would be nice to automate it though. Any thoughs?

 

Thank you in advance!

Unless you want to hack into the import library wizard VI code yourself (and create a maintenance nightmare since there is no publically documented VI API so far AFAIK) I don't believe there is currently an option. And the command line approach does not seem to me the ideal way of creating such an interface, since the import library wizard potentially requires an entire page of possible command line parameters if you consider things like header directories, defines, etc.
