exe instead of dll in NX Open Wizard

exe instead of dll in NX Open Wizard

exe instead of dll in NX Open Wizard

(OP)
Hi there,

I would like to ask if anybody knows following the NX7 Open Wizard, how to create an external application running independently of NX (exe) instead of a DLL?

I created a simple dialog using NX /Open User Interface Styler and saved in C++. I opened with Visual studio 2008 using the NX Wizard and choosing to activate the application automatically (ufsta) and automatically when application completes.

I added the existing items of my NX application under the header and source files. I'm not sure what I'm doing next to compile it. The aim is to display the dialog when I'm calling it from an external program. So I'm not sure what shall I comment out or change in the code so can compile successfully.

Thanks in advance for your help,
P.

What exactly are you trying to achieve with that external application?

Thank you for the interest,

Well I'm monitoring specific designing phases while the user is working in NX.

Hope that helps,

Care to elaborate what you / the user is supposed to do with the interface styler?

As a side note, I never really cared much for the wizards. They turn out to be far more trouble than they are worth - you can accomplish the same by creating an empty Win32  project and linking to the necessary libraries.
