Conditional Disable in build settings

[Dan DeFriese]

I can't upload my example. But on option is to execute the build spec(s) programmatically using a pre-processing VI.

Using the Project API you can obtain the project root refnum using the Project::Root property node which feeds the Project::SetTag invoke node.

For Project::SetTag invoke node inputs:

TagName = "CCSymbols"

Value = A semicolon separated string in the form "SYMBOL_1,VALUE;SYMBOL_2,VALUE;SYMBOL_n,VALUE" (e.g. "DEBUG,F;SIMULATE_A429,T")

Hope this helps... I'll try to post an example after work.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong, but when I switch between conditionals, I right-click the project in the "Project Explorer" window and select "Properties..."

In the "Conditional Disable Symbols" section, the only options I see are "Add" and "Remove Selected Items". So far, my only solution is to first remove my symbol, then re-Add it with a new value.

Is there a cleaner way to change Symbols in a project? That would surely make my day.

Just click at the particular entry and change it (as shown in the picture)

Here's the example code for setting the CCSymbols programmatically.

Thanks.

Here's a more developed subVI that I've used successfully inside a Pre-build action.   I use it to set a Build CC symbol to be equal to the Build Name, so different builds can enable different code.
