Application Properties Dialog Box

Application Options Tab

Create a separate-namespace VLX and include ActiveX support.

ActiveX Support

Specifies if the AutoLISP ActiveX support functions are automatically loaded with the application.

Separate Namespace

Specifies if the application is ran in its own namespace or in the namespace of the document from which the VLX is loaded.

Load Files Tab

Manages the program files that are part of the application file.

You may need to reorder the file list. For example, if you call a function at load time, the function must be defined before it is used. In this case, you want to place the file defining that function first.

Program Files

Add

Displays the Add Files dialog box. The type of file you can add is determined by the option selected in the Program File Types drop-down list.

Remove

Removes the selected files in the Program Files list.

Program File Types

Specifies the type of program file to add to the application file.

Top

Moves the selected file to the top of the Program Files list.

Up

Moves the selected file up one position in the Program Files list.

Down

Moves the selected file down one position in the Program Files list.

Bottom

Moves the selected file to the bottom of the Program Files list.

Manages additional resource files for the application file.

Load/Compile Options Tab

Controls how AutoLISP source files should be compiled.

Standard

Produces the smallest output file and is suitable for programs consisting of a single file.

Optimize and Link

Optimizes the compiled files and creates direct references to the compiled functions in the compiled code, instead of to the function symbol. Best suited for large and complex programs.

Tune Directories Tab

Identifies the LISP Object directory and Target directory settings.

LISP Object directory

Location where Visual LISP places .fas and temporary files are created by the compiler.

Target directory

Location where Make Application creates the VLX file.

If no directory is specified, the directory of the .prv file is used.
