Question

Is there a way to make Progress Developer Studio 3.7 (Eclipse) generate all the wrx files (from the ocx) and place them in for example the rcode folder?

Clarification: I dont know even how to make one wrx file. Have heard this "They get automatically created as soon as you drop an OCX control onto an ABL frame". But if you have removed that file, can you create it anew without having to redrop the control? And how do you automatically place it in a certain folder?

Was it helpful?

Solution

wrx files contain the properties of an ActiveX you set in the appbuilder. If you loose the wrx, those properties revert back to default values. You should check-in the wrx files into your version control system together with the source .

To copy the wrx to the rcode directory I use robocopy. suppose your sources are in a directory named src then you can copy them using

robocopy src rcode *.wrx /s

OTHER TIPS

The wrx-file is generated when compiling in the AppBuilder.
