convert code to uir

[scnguyen]

I use the uir to code tool to convert my uir file to C code. Now I want to convert from C code to uir. This is for control management. Is there a tool that would let me do this? Or a tool that could perform a diff between to uir files?

Hi,

Here are a couple of tips for you:

+There is no tool to go from "UI Code" to and UIR file. You could programmatically create a TUI file that then you could translate to a uir. TUI files are a text based uir that you can create and read from a uir file. Just open a uir, select "Options>>Save in Text Format..." to export to TUI text format and "Options>>Load from Text Format...". Take a look at the files generated and you could generate you own from the code.

+There is also no tool to compare uir files, however you can create a TUI file of the uirs and use any text file comparison tool to check the differences.

This kind of tools would be good suggestions to CVI, I would appreciate if you file these suggestions at http://www.ni.com/contact and select

Let me know if you have any further questions.
