C header file
When you are using
the option C header file in the New message definition
file wizard to create a message definition, the following are
the list of panels you will be presented with:
Panel properties
- Message sets
- This field lists the message set projects that are available in your work
space. By clicking on the '+' symbol to the left of the project, these will
expand to list the message sets that are available for you to select. Subject
to how you started the New message definition file wizard,
a message set could be preselected for you. This does not prevent you from
selecting an alternate should you choose to do so.
- Message definition file name
- Specify the name of the message definition file that you are creating.
- Overwrite existing file contents without warning
- Select this option if you want to replace the contents of an existing
message definition file and not be warned that this could occur. You should
only select this if you are confident that replacing an existing message definition
file will not cause you any problems.
- Preserve case in variable names
- By selecting this option, the importer will preserve the case that the
variable names in the C data structure have been written in. By deselecting
this option, all variable names will be in lowercase.
The default is for
this to be selected.
- Use target namespace
- Selecting this option allows you to specify a target namespace for the
message definition file. You can only choose a target namespace if namespaces
have been enabled in the message set.
If you select this option, specify
the namespace to be used in the field that has been enabled.
The namespace
prefix created in the message definition file will be set to tns. You can
edit the Namespace Settings on the XML physical format layer at the message
set level to control prefixes written in XML instance messages.
