Creating a DEO Application

Topic group

To create a DEO application:

1. Check the box marked, “DEO Application?”, on the Project page.

2. Click “Yes” on the ensuing dialog (view graphic)

After designating a project as a DEO application, you need to assign the project files to DEO folders.

Assigning project files to DEO Folders

3. Select the DEO tab

• If you have existing folders you wish to use for your DEO deployment, you can select them by clicking on the 'folder' icon.(view graphic). This will open the Choose Directory dialog, allowing you to browse to a folder. Once you have located the desired folder, click OK and the file will be added to the DEO folder list.

• If you wish to create new folders, type the full path into the entryfield and press the ENTER key. The Project Explorer will create the folder.

• Repeat this for each folder you wish to create by selecting the next numbered line in the listbox, and designating a path and name in the entryfield.

• To remove a folder from the list you must first remove any files assigned to it. Once it is empty, select it from the list and click the “Clear a Target Folder” icon on the right.

Selecting the DEO Folder For Each File

Once you have created the DEO folders we need to designate which files the Project Explorer will place in the various folders.(view graphic).

4. In the TreeView, select the file you want assigned to a particular folder. The Project Explorer switches the view to the Details tab of the File Details page.

5. Uncheck the, “Include file within executable”, box

6. Check the,” Copy File to Separate DEO Folder", box.

7. Repeat this process for each file that can be compiled.

The Project Explorer will not allow you to set the DEO location for a file you have designated as the Main Startup Program in the Build section. The application needs that file compiled and built into the executable itself.
