I do quite a bit of small hand coded test projects. Usually just a few lines of code to test some code or concept. \u00a0One of the things I like to do is add the Icetips Utilities to those projects so I can use methods like ODS (OutputDebugString)<\/p>\n

Below I go through the steps and at the bottom is a short video of the whole process (1 minute, 31 seconds)<\/p>\n

To create a small project like that you need to create a project using the \"Win32 EXE\" option when you create the solution.<\/p>\n

\"CreateNewSolution\"<\/a>

I also always uncheck the \"Auto create project subdir\" as I have normally create the folder before I create the solution, but if you haven't check this and it will create a sub folder with the name of the project.<\/p>\n

The next step is to change the project settings. \u00a0In the Solution Explorer right click on the project node and select \"Properties\" from the popup menu.<\/p>\n

\"Clarion10OpenProjectProperties\"<\/a>

In the project properties, select the \"Compiling\" tab and in the \"Conditional Compilation Symbols\" enter:<\/p>\n

_ABCDllMode_=>0;_ABCLinkMode_=>1;_ITUtilDllMode_=>0;_ITUtilLinkMode_=>1<\/span><\/pre>\n
\"Clarion10SetProjectProperties\"<\/a>

This will compile both the ABC classes and the Icetips Utility classes. \u00a0Note that this setting is for an EXE. \u00a0If you are compiling a DLL, then you need to switch\u00a0the 0 and 1 in the settings above.<\/p>\n
The first thing you need to do is to include the main header file:<\/p>\n
  INCLUDE('ITUtilityClass.inc'),ONCE<\/span><\/pre>\n
I do this above the MAP statement.<\/p>\n
Now you\u00a0can use any code from the Icetips Utilities in your project. \u00a0For example:<\/p>\n
ITU ITUtilityClass<\/span>\r\n CODE<\/span>\r\n MESSAGE('Icetips Utilities: ' & ITU.EXEName)<\/span><\/pre>\n
In the video below (no sound) go through each of the steps to make this happen:<\/p>\n

I hope this may help some of you to use the power of the Icetips Utilities in your source projects \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
