Tools»Source Code Control
The Source Code Control submenu contains menu items that you can use to perform operations with your source code control system. Before you can use the commands in the Source Code Control submenu, you must first configure LabWindows/CVI to use your source code system using the Source Code Control Options dialog box, accessible through Options»Environment or Edit»Project for project-specific source code control options.
The exact behavior of the commands in the Source Code Control submenu depends on the implementation of the Source Code Control Interface that your source code control system provides and on the settings in the Source Code Control Options dialog box.
Some of the source code control commands open a Select Files dialog box when you select the commands from the Workspace window. Use the Select Files dialog box to select the files you want to include in the operation and set any available options for the operation. Click the Advanced button to set any options that your Source Code Control Interface provides for the operation.
Source Code Control commands and options are dimmed if the Source Code Control Interface that the source code control system provides does not support the command or option. Many of the commands transfer files between your hard disk and the Source Code Control program attached to the current LabWindows/CVI program. Depending on the command you select and the window that is active, the Source Code Control commands apply to either the list of files you select or the file that is in the active window.
The Source Code Control submenu contains the following options:
- Get Latest Version—Get the latest version of files from the source code control project.
- Get Latest Versions of All—Get the latest version of all files.
- Check Out—Check out files from the source code control project.
- Check In—Check files into the source code control project.
- Undo Check Out—Undo check out actions you previously performed on files.
- Add to Source Control—Add files to the source code control project.
- Remove From Source Control—Remove files from the source code control project.
- Show History—View the source code control history for a file.
- Show Differences—View the differences between a file on disk and the latest version of the file in the source code control system.
- Properties—View the source code control properties and status of a file.
- Refresh Status—Have LabWindows/CVI update the source code control status of files. If you use the source code control system GUI to change the status of files in your source code control system, LabWindows/CVI might not know about these changes until you select Refresh Status.
- Clear Source Code Control Error Window—Clear the contents of the Source Code Control Error window.
- Source Code Control—Launch the GUI interface provided by your source code control system.
