Panel properties

Workbench Files
The field displays the projects, folders and C header files that are available in the workbench. Use this field to select the C header file you are creating the message definition file from.

If the C header file you are looking to create the message definition file from is not listed, it is possible that it has not been imported into the workspace.

Subject to how you started the New message definition file wizard, the C header file could already be selected for you. This does not prevent you from selecting an alternate should you choose to do so.

Include Path
The include path is used to define any paths that are required to ensure that the C data structure is imported correctly.

Use the Add and Remove buttons to ensure all necessary paths are correctly specified.
