This wizard creates functioning macro modules by generating the template files <ModuleName>.def and <ModuleName>.script (optional: <ModuleName>.mlab and <ModuleName>.py).

For the first dialog, see Section 23.2.1, “First C++ Module Wizard Dialog”.

In the second dialog, the module properties can be set and a local macro can be chosen as starter for the macro module.

Figure 23.15. Project Wizard

Add Macro Network File

Enable if the macro module shall encapsulate a module network. Either generates an empty <ModuleName>.mlab document or uses an existing one.

Add Python, Add JavaScript

Creates an empty file (<ModuleName>.py or <ModuleName>.js ) which is included in the module's definition file <ModuleName>.script. Used to define script commands embedded in the MDL script code to implement dynamic user interfaces.

Macro Module from Local Macro

Allows selecting a local macro as basis for the macro module, see Section 4.1.11, “Create Local Macro”.

Delete Local Macro files afterward copy

Sets if the local macro shall be deleted after using if for a macro module creation.

Click Next for the next screen, if you want to add fields, see Section 23.4, “Module Field Interface”, Otherwise, click Create to create the new macro module.

After module creation, the module database has to be reloaded before the new module can be used in a network.
