Generating Framework Classes

Once you have selected a module, you can use the C++ Expert to generate framework code and make files to use as the basis for implementing your applications.

To generate these files for a specific module:

1. Choose the module in the tree view of the Contract Repository.

2. Choose Generate->Framework Classes from the menu.

3. When the Confirm Selection window is displayed, you can make changes to the Resource Manager or Server Name for individual modules that will apply to this generation.

   Note: If you make any changes to a field on this window, you must press Enter to save the new entry before continuing to another field or to the next step.

4. Click OK to continue.

   While the C++ Expert is generating these files, it will display the directory where the files are put, the phase of the process it is currently performing, and any status information. You can click on Stop to halt the process at any time.
