Introduction

UCanCode ToolBox V1.7 can be used to perform one or more of the following operations on Microsoft Visual C++ projects (version 5.0 or 6.0):

.Rename an existing project

Step 1

Use the first wizard screen to select the Visual C++ project file to process. You can enter/browse to a project filename. The wizard handles MAK, DSP, DSW files.

Example:

Step 2

After choosing a project filename and clicking Next, ToolBox parses the project file to determine its name, and displays the name on the second wizard step. The following selection is provided:

Rename the Project-- This option determines if the project filename and name will be changed. This specifies how to rename an existing project. ToolBox uses an intelligent algorithm based on the project type to identify strings within the project files that contain the project name/filename, so that even for simple project names (i.e.,Test, only the appropriate matching strings are modified. In addition to changing all project name occurrences within the project files, all project filenames that are prefixed with the project name are modified to match the new project name (and any references to these files are also updated).

Example:

Step 3

The third wizard step is used to review and process your selections. After reviewing the changes that will be made, click Next to begin processing. The wizard parses the Visual C++ project file to determine the files that comprise the project. If the project is being renamed, each filename in the project that begins with the project filename root is renamed to match the new project name. For instance, in a project MyApp.dsp being copied and renamed to NewApp, the project files MyApp.cpp and MyAppView.cpp would be copied as NewApp.cpp and NewAppView.cpp.

The project file and its constituent files are traversed, and if the project name is being changed, any instances of the old project name/filename root are replaced with the new project name (any binary files in the project are copied unchanged); any path/filename strings are updated as necessary.

Step 4

After processing is complete, the last wizard step is displayed. To open the new or updated project immediately, check the checkbox and click Finish. The project will be opened in the Visual C++ IDE, where it can be built, modified, and debugged as needed.
