Settings

 

Use this button to update the selected Feature (from the left list) with the data from the Item Properties block.

 

Specify here the name to be used in the menus, for the selected Feature entry.

 

Name of the DLL in the /Features directory (needless to add the file extension).

The GUI will load the <name>M.dll interface that handle all windows while the <name>.dll (compiled with VisualStudio) will be handling the data objects. The <name>X.dll will be used for drawing the feature onto the OpenGL device.

 

Name of the library that will be produced into /lib/vcxx.

This lib will automatically be added into the makefile produced by vsTASKER to compile a simulation engine produced with a database using the corresponding Feature.

 

Name of the include file in /Feature/Include

 

Add a new Feature (entry) into the list.

Suppress the selected user added Feature.

Use these buttons to tick/activate all or none of the Feature Manager.

When a Manager is not ticked, it will not be available next time vsTASKER will be started. That means the associated DLL will not be loaded and the corresponding button in the toolbar will be disabled. When a database is loaded, if a Manager is disabled, all corresponding Features of the database will not be loaded. This can be useful when working with databases that do not have Features. Starting vsTASKER will be faster as Feature DLL will not be loaded. Memory footprint will also be reduced.
Do not forget to activate some or all Managers if you intend to use Features.

Fix the configuration on a file so that next time vsTASKER is loaded, only the selected Feature DLLs will be loaded.
