Project Folders

The Project Folders consist of:
• The ETS GUI Source (Ets)


• The Assistant Dynamic Linked Library (Tools)


• The Application Dismissed Dialog (Terminate)


• The API Dynamic Linked Library (BackEnd)


• The Files For Common Broking (Etscoms)


• The Implicator Library (Implib)


• The Communications Dynamic Linked Library (RBClient)



• Objective Grid Dynamic Linked Library (Grid)


• The Project Installer (Setup)

Building Projects

In Order to support the Common Broker Code You should run c:\ets\generate.bat every time the data_desc changes
This creates the C:\ETS\codegen tool and produces all the generated items.
The batch file for creating the project completed from DOS is called build.bat
The call build r f would create a release version and call the generate.bat file to create the generated items.

From within the IDE you can select rebuild all from the projects workspace from C:\Ets\GUI\ETS.DSW
Note that the workspace does not know about calling generate.bat so you need to run that first prior to opening the project.

File Placement

The "GUI" should reside in C:\Ets\GUI and consist only of "C++ Objects"
The "GUI" should only reference the "C++" Methods of its own project classes ; Methods of the GUIObjects and finally the Tools DLL.C:\Ets\Tools (declaration IPE_BACK_END_DLL)

Those files that fall under the header of GUIObjects, can be called from either the GUI or the ETSAPI DLL,
reside in C:\Ets\API

These files may well include the declaration IPE_BACK_END_DLL which really means AFX_EXT_CLASS
and if so then they are in effect public classes in the DLL.

The GUIObjects classes and API can reference any of the following:
Note however the "GUI" does not know of their existance
C:\ETS\Api\APISystem ; C:\ETS\Api\APISystem\Comms ; C:\ETS\Api\APISystem\MidLayer ; C:\ETS\Api\res ;
C:\ETS\incl\Common ; C:\ETS\incl\Ets ; C:\ETS\incl\generated ; C:\ETS\incl\Implied ;
C:\ETS\share\Common ; C:\ETS\share\Ets ; C:\ETS\share\generated ; C:\ETS\share\Implied
The ETSAPI At The System / Comms Or Midlayer can reference C:\ETS\RBClient
