Parsing IDL Files

Configurations

The Save command saves the paths of the parsed IDL files and the search paths in a configuration file. The Open command opens a configuration file and parses IDL files specified in this configuration.

Adding IDL files to the configuration

To add the IDL files to the configuration select Add IDL files command from the File menu. In the Open Panel select the required IDL files to be parsed. You don't need to specify the files that anyway will be included with the #include or #import directive.

Another way to add IDL files to the configuration is to drag the needed IDL files into the Modules table view.

Specifying search paths for IDL #include and #import

By default the IDL files specified in an #include (#import) directive are looked for in the directory of the file that contains that #include directive and in the directory of the file(s) selected in the Open IDL Files panel.

Additional directories may be added to the search paths using the command Add IDL Search Path from the File menu. The search paths are saved with the configuration, so next time when the configuration is opened they will be used.
